I would like to thank everyone for your continued support and understanding.

Since the commencement of service to the United States in 1985, we have supported international logistics centered on Japan through air cargo transportation, and with the aim of contributing to the advancement of global societies, economies and culture, we have made history as Japan’s only dedicated international cargo airline. Our ability to continue operations without any major accidents is due to the extraordinary support from our customers and all stakeholders.

In July 2018, we received a business improvement order from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Everyone in the company from the top down resolutely worked to implement measures to prevent recurrence, strengthen the framework for safety and cultivate a culture of safety. These activities remain ongoing today. Going forward, while continuing to reflect on the fundamentals, everyone in the company will strive to ensure legal and regulatory compliance and maintain a thorough awareness of safety.

On July 10, 2023, our sole shareholder NYK Line concluded an agreement with ANA Holdings Inc. to transfer the air cargo transportation business with the objective of making NCA a wholly-owned subsidiary of ANA Holdings Inc. From our perspective, this transaction involves a change to our shareholders and does not impact our continued existence as a Japanese cargo airline. COVID-19 caused a large number of changes to society, and combined with the deepening global turmoil due in part to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, society’s awareness and expectations for air cargo transportation and large cargo aircraft are increasing. We will continue to provide transportation quality that satisfies our customers’ expectations through safe, stable operations.

We will never forget our safety principle, “Safety is our promise to the public and is the foundation of our business”, and through safe and more definite operations while remaining true to the fundamentals, each and every employee will approach customers with “sincerity, creativity, and enthusiasm” as stated in the corporate motto and work with determination to fulfill the mission required of us by society as a dedicated cargo airline.

I ask for your continued support in the future.
