Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, the recovery of international flight users is not expected immediately, but ANA will recover demand for international flights that have been reduced or suspended at four airports, Haneda, Narita, Kansai, and Chubu. When resuming, we have decided to give priority to Haneda Airport.

On top of that, President Tamura said, "While the large-scale suspension of international flights continues, we will continue to create an environment where people can come and go with peace of mind and make every effort to maintain the network." He expressed his intention to maintain the aviation network at Narita Airport.
