2 Air Transportation Domestic Passenger Services ANA s domestic passenger numbers and revenues increased year-on-year as it capitalized on the steady increase in business and leisure travel demand. ANA enhanced its domestic network to improve convenience and choice for passengers by launching new services between Akita and Sapporo, Narita and Hiroshima, resuming the route between Haneda and Ishigaki and introducing more frequent flights between Haneda and Hiroshima/Tokushima. ANA has also introduced targeted discount fares, such as Tabiwari 75, 60, and 21, and expanded coverage of Tokuwari to all domestic services, to drive growth in demand. These fares extend the reservation and purchase period to up to six months in advance of departure. ANA is committed to providing the highest possible standards in customer service, introducing a number of improvements to its airport and on-board services during the period. As a result, revenues from domestic passenger services rose by 9.1 billion, or 1.4% year-on-year.

Outlook for FY2014 (April, March, 2015) During fiscal year 2014, Japan s economy is expected to recover gradually as the beneficial effects of the government s economic policies take hold. However, factors including the continued high price of fuel, persistent weakness in the Japanese yen and increasingly fierce competition will continue to present headwinds for ANA HD. In this business environment, ANA HD will continue to execute its mid-term corporate strategy (FY ) to strengthen the Group s core businesses; expand and diversify its earnings and continue to reform its cost structure. ANA HD aims to improve profitability by: - further reducing operational costs and improving supply-demand balance on domestic passenger routes - network expansion utilizing a dual-hub model for the Tokyo Metropolitan area on international passenger routes - improving convenience in the cargo business by offering combined cargo and passenger flights - network expansion and customer service improvements in its Low Cost Carrier operations.
