ANA to merge cargo airlines
The All Nippon Airways Group has announced it will be consolidating its two cargo airlines, with Nippon Cargo Airlines being the surviving brand. From 1 April 2027, the plan is to have all dedicated cargo-operations on the Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) of Nippon Cargo.
ANA acquired Nippon Cargo in August 2025, and the merger of its cargo business doesn't come as a surprise. Today, ANA Cargo is operating a dedicated freighter fleet of six Boeing B767-300Fs and two B777Fs. Nippon Cargo in its turn is flying with eight B747-8Fs.
