To capture domestic and international e-commerce, parcel and other high-growth cargo, the airline will create alliances with logistics partners and operate routes that ensure stable demand.

“From fiscal 2023, we will start operating international flights mainly to East Asia, and in the future we will operate domestic flights to improve aircraft utilization while maximizing the cargo ratio. In addition, we will respond to customers’ needs by flexibly offering charter and non-scheduled flights,” the airline said in a statement.
