◎Now, allow me to address the two important resources of aircraft and pilots.
◎First, I will discuss our fleet plan. By the end of fiscal 2020 we forecast a total of around 320 aircraft. We intend to follow our plan in securing the aircraft necessary for executing our future strategy.
◎Next, I will discuss our pilot resources. The three ANA brand airlines are currently developing pilots based on long-term staffing plans looking ahead 10 years. Our policy is to secure and develop a stable base of personnel.Our LCC Business has a pressing need for pilots. Here, we have implemented captain promotion training for first officers, and we will begin in-house development in fiscal 2019. Our merger in this business will deliver results that include improved labor utilization and more efficient training.
◎Further, looking beyond the scope of our current strategy, we decided to place two aircraft orders today to ensure we have sufficient planes to support future growth. The first is the Boeing 737MAX8. This aircraft will be the successor to the Boeing 737-700 and -800 now in operations under the ANA Brand. The second aircraft is the Airbus A320neo. We will use this to replace narrow-body aircraft used in our operations, including our LCC Business.
These orders will not have a significant impact on cash flow, as we already incorporated them in our initial corporate strategy.
