The goal of the partnership is to grow the ANA Group’s cargo network, add more freight capacity, and make things easier for customers by combining the operational strengths of both carriers’ large freighter fleets, ANA said.
The codeshare announcement came after ANA Holdings purchased 100% of NCA’s shares on August 1, 2025. The combined operation now has a considerable freight capacity, made possible by ANA’s passenger flight network and its fleet of six Boeing 767 and two Boeing 777 freighters, as well as NCA’s eight Boeing 747 freighters.
According to ANA, this combined fleet gives the group the ability to move large amounts of cargo around the world.
Both carriers intend to strengthen their partnership in the future. The goal is to improve ANA Group’s cargo business and offer competitive, efficient services that meet changing customer needs, while also supporting the group’s long-term growth strategy.
