ANA begins nighttime cargo delivery service from Hiroshima+



HIROSHIMA, Feb. 8 Kyodo -
All Nippon Airways Co. said Monday it has launched a nighttime cargo delivery
service to five areas in Asia from Hiroshima Airport via Tokyo's Haneda and
Okinawa's Naha airports.
The new service shortens the air cargo delivery time from Hiroshima by around
half a day compared with trucking cargo to Kansai International Airport near
Osaka, according to ANA.
The service is part of ANA's ''Okinawa cargo hub'' service launched last
October linking Japan's Narita, Haneda and Kansai airports with airports in
Bangkok, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai and Taipei via Naha Airport.
Under the new service, cargo is transported from Hiroshima by an ANA passenger
plane arriving at Haneda during the night. At Haneda, it is loaded onto a cargo
plane bound for Naha where it is transferred to another aircraft, reaching its
destination by the early morning.
ANA started a similar service at Komatsu Airport in Ishikawa Prefecture in
January and will launch another service at Matsuyama Airport in Ehime
Prefecture in March.
