All Nippon Airways Co. said Tuesday its group operating profit for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 rose 11 percent from the previous year to 89.9 billion yen, thanks to strong demand for passenger and cargo flights that more than offset the impact of rising fuel prices.
The No. 2 domestic carrier also attributed the improved performance to continued cost reductions.
ANA also announced a four-year business plan in which it hopes to log 1.55 trillion yen in sales, 100 billion yen in operating profit and 42 billion yen in net profit in fiscal 2009.
