Following strong ongoing demand for cargo operations, Japan's ANA Group said it wants to maximize the operation of its freighters and use passenger aircraft to boost its cargo operations.

The airline is also introducing changes to its freighter routes to maximize the current supply and demand trend.

"For the freighter routes, ANA will maximize the use of its 11 freighters through its network to operate charter flights and additional flights along with regularly scheduled flights to drive profitability," Japan's ANA said. "We will also utilize passenger aircraft to operate cargo flights in order to flexibly capture demand."

To support the growing demand, it will add two new twice-weekly freighter round trip from Narita to Los Angeles from March 27 to October 29. Meanwhile, the Narita—Singapore freighter operation will be decreased to five from six,  as the Narita—Seoul freighter service have been adjusted to four from six per week.

"By making changes such as the transfer of the Tokyo Haneda-Washington D.C., Tokyo Haneda-Houston, Tokyo Haneda-Seattle and Tokyo Haneda-Vancouver routes to Tokyo Narita airport, ANA aims to accommodate demand for connections between Asia-North America while simultaneously maximizing the revenue per flight from both passenger and cargo operations," ANA Group added.
