◎Next, I will explain our initiatives for the second half of this fiscal year.
◎First, I will discuss our business strategy. ANA will appropriately address the Boeing 787 engine issue and establish a production structure for the next fiscal year and beyond. Beginning in mid-February of next year, we will utilize late night slots at Haneda Airport to start new services to Vienna. We will steadily expand our network in accordance with our mid-term corporate strategy.
◎For the LCC business, the merger between Peach Aviation and Vanilla Air is proceeding according to plan. As previously announced, the Peach Aviation CEO will also take a leadership role at Vanilla Air. We will gradually consolidate management resources into Peach Aviation in order to improve management efficiency.
◎We will continue to implement planned initiatives to solidify our management platform. At the same time, we will control unit costs to improve our cost competitiveness.
◎As part of our financial strategy, we issued green bonds in October. In gaining market support for our Group’s policy on environmental initiatives, we were able to draw the interest of a broad range of investors and issue bonds to a well-balanced share of investors.
◎Lastly, as you can see in the bottom half of the slide, we forecast that this trend of revenue growth will continue during the second half. While continuing to carefully watch crude oil markets and negotiations with the engine manufacturers regarding compensation, we will focus on solidifying our business platform in preparation for our next growth stage.
◎This concludes my presentation. Thank you for your attention.
