Japanese carrier ANA Holdings (9202.T) expects to increase in its annual profits due to a
rise in demand for domestic flights and the ease of travel restrictions for international
travelers aid the company’s recovery after two years of losses caused by pandemics.
The company reported an operating deficit in the amount of 173.1 billion yen ($1.3 billion)
however, it is expected to make 50 billion yen in profit for the year that began on April
1.

And in today's video, we are going to talk about “Sad All Nippon Airways News.”
So without any further ado, Let's begin.
When it comes to Asian carriers such as Japan's largest airline All Nippon Airways (ANA),
a loss reported for the previous year doesn't come as much of a surprise.
This is primarily due to border restrictions.
However, ANA is changing and adapting to these challenging times.
ANA stated a sustained concentration on decreasing working bills together with elevated home
journey, robust cargo gross sales and favorable situations for the development of worldwide
site visitors level all level to a greater 12 months.
In Japan in late March lifted all home pandemic restrictions.
That has cleared the best way for a forecast restoration of in-home flight demand to 80%
of pre-pandemic ranges on common this monetary 12 months, ANA Chief Government Koji Shibata
informed reporters.
The variety of passengers who booked flights for the subsequent week’s string of public
holidays generally known as “Golden Week” is predicted to roughly double from 12 months
in the past, he added.
Annual income surged 40% to 1.02 trillion yen, pushed partly by a report on cargo efficiency,
and is forecast to leap one other 63% this monetary 12 months.
Within the worldwide market, ANA and rival Japan Airways Co Ltd (JAL) face uncertainties
from Japan’s extended border restrictions and rising gasoline prices worsened by the
struggle in Ukraine.
“The sustained focus on reducing our operating expenses along with increased domestic travel,
strong cargo sales, and favorable conditions for the growth of international traffic point
to a better FY2022,” ANA Chief Financial Officer Kimihiro Nakahori said in a statement.
There are encouraging signs of a post-pandemic passenger recovery in Japan, which in late
March lifted all domestic pandemic restrictions.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has repeatedly decided against opening the nation's borders
to overseas tourists, lifting pandemic-related bans only for students and business travelers.
International demand is only at 30% of pre-pandemic levels in April and May and Shibata forecast
a full recovery would take until March 2024.
He called on the Japanese government to lift a cap of 10,000 daily arrivals and accept
overseas tourists.
The tourist ban, which prevents the industry from capitalizing on a weakening of the yen
to 20-year lows, has not yet incurred much public anger and may not be lifted until after
an election in July, according to analysts.
ANA has said as of last week, the number of passengers who booked flights for next week’s
string of public holidays known as “Golden Week” increased by about 47% compared to
a year ago.
Still, ANA and rival Japan Airlines Co Ltd (JAL) face uncertainties from Japan’s prolonged
international border restrictions and rising fuel costs worsened by the war in Ukraine.
Despite the massive loss over the past six months, ANA is moving in a positive direction
when compared to the same period during the previous fiscal year.
Indeed, the airline losses over this period were 48% lower than in 2020- something helped
greatly by a ¥139 billion jump in operating revenue, equivalent to a 48% increase.
ANA also experienced a steady rise in international passenger traffic over the northern Summer
of 2021, when compared to earlier months of the year.
This is attributed to Tokyo-2020 and homecoming demand.
However, the airline saw these numbers drop in September as activity slowed down- something
that is expected to continue over the next few months.
At the same time, the airline had forecasted a rise in its domestic passenger activity
for October and November 2021.
