◎This is a year-on-year comparison of changes in operating income for our Air Transportation Business.
◎Operating revenues increased by 50.4 billion yen. Operating revenues for the Domestic Passenger Business decreased year on year due to the unprecedented impact of typhoons and earthquakes, as well as flight cancellations attributable to Boeing 787 engine issues. International Passenger and Cargo & Mail Businesses contributed significantly to top-line growth.
◎Operating expenses increased by 58.5 billion yen. The expansion of the business scope resulted in increased operation-linked expenses. Plus, although we are adding a fuel surcharge to fares in the International Business, this was not enough to cover fuel expenses which increased ahead of fuel surcharges due to continuous crude oil price raise during the first half of the fiscal year.
◎As a result of the above, operating income decreased by 8.1 billion yen year on year to 101.0 billion yen.
◎As shown in the table at the bottom, we were able to control unit cost in line with our plan.
