TOKYO January 30, 2012 - ANA Group regrets the threatened
24-strike on February 1st announced by its pilot unions and is
continuing urgent negotiations with the unions concerned to
avert industrial action and the disruption to passenger
services it will cause.
Should the unnecessary strike go ahead, ANA will do everything
possible to minimize the impact on passengers and services. No
international flights will be affected. However domestic
flights could regrettably be subject to cancellation and/or
delay.
ANA Group extends sincere apologies for the inconvenience this
will cause to customers and appreciate their understanding and
patience.
Passengers intending to take ANA domestic flights on February
1st are kindly requested to check the status of their flights
with the ANA Reservations Center (0570-029-222), on ANA Sky Web
(www.ana.co.jp/eng) or by contacting their nearest ANA
branch.
An ANA spokesman said: `We are very disappointed that our four
pilots unions have threatened to take strike action. This
action is unnecessary and will prove disruptive.`
We have put forward a fair set of proposals with the pilots
unions. ANA Group will continue urgent negotiations with the
unions to avert a strike.
*AIR NIPPON and ANA WINGS operate flights under the ANA flight
code.
