All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines have ramped up their international capacity plans from November onward, following the latest steps by the government to relax entry requirements.
With COVID-19 restrictions impeding travel to Japan, the country’s airlines are focusing more heavily on transit traffic at their Tokyo hubs to rebuild international operations.
As ANA's strong China-U.S. transit market collapsed with Beijing's protracted pandemic-related border closures, ANA is looking at India as a promising transit market and hopes to tap into SIA’s network there.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) is starting to see international demand returning, but the carrier is pushing for Japan’s government to ease restrictions that are preventing a more significant traffic recovery.
