10-Year Outlook and ANA HD's Strategic Goals
Over the next ten years, Japan’s population is expected both to decline and grow older as a result of the falling birth rate, presenting economic and fiscal challenges for the country and its airline industry. However, at the same time, Japan will receive a major boost by hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020, by which time the country is targeting an increase in overseas visitor numbers to 20 million a year. Also, further expansion of slots at Tokyo metropolitan airports are expected to happen. Outside Japan, the global economy is also expected to continue growing, driven mainly by Asia. ANA HD’s long-term strategic vision and its growth strategy to FY 2025 is planned against this backdrop.
1. Key Strategic Plans for Each Business Segment
International Passenger Services | |||
ANA’s international services will become its core business, increasing profitability with the launch of new routes and positioning the group as Japan’s ‘bridge to the world’. To achieve this, ANA will focus investment to meet increased demand between North America and Asia. It will: | |||
・ | Capture an increasing share of the growing demand for travel to Japan | ||
・ | Target a 50% increase in revenues by FY2025 so that international overtakes domestic revenue |
Domestic Passenger Services | |||
In a market where gradual shrink is expected, ANA aims to maintain market share and improve efficiencies by: | |||
・ | Increasing profitability through “dynamic fleet assignment”- matching aircraft size to peaks and troughs of demand | ||
・ | Making more effective use of infrastructure and resources |
Cargo services | |||
ANA aims to capture the growing global demand by positioning itself as a leading combination cargo carrier utilizing both freighter and passenger aircraft. In particular, it will: | |||
・ | Capture intra-Asia cargo demand by expanding its network from/to the Okinawa hub | ||
・ | Expand its trans-Pacific capacity through joint venture partnerships to improve competitiveness |
LCC | |||
ANA HD will expand its LCC as its fourth core business by meeting increased demand from passengers travelling within Japan and from/to overseas destinations. |
Non-Air business | |||
This division will remain ANA HD’s fifth core business segment through the development of new businesses and the strict assessment of existing businesses. |

2. Fleet Expansion Underpinning Long-term Growth Strategies
ANA HD's announced last March for 70 new aircraft to support its growth and to replace some existing older planes. In addition to this, ANA HD today announces orders for 15 new aircraft to enable further flexibility of aircraft to match demand and to take advantage of the expected increase in airport slots in the Tokyo area. The new order consists of three Boeing 787-10s, five Boeing 737-800s, and seven Airbus A321s.
By the end of FY2020 ANA HD expects its total fleet to number approximately 305 aircraft, of which ANA will operate approximately 265 and LCCs approximately 40. The comparable figure for the beginning of FY2015 will be 250 aircraft - of which 230 will be operated by ANA and 20 by LCCs.
