All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) have announced they will soon begin codeshare operations on cargo flights between Japan, Europe and North America.

Under the agreement, ANA’s code will appear on NCA’s Boeing 747 freighter services from Narita to North American destinations – Chicago, New York, Dallas/Fort Worth and Los Angeles – as well as European destinations – Amsterdam, Milan and Frankfurt.

NCA’s code will be added to ANA’s Boeing 777 freighter routes from Narita to Chicago and Los Angeles.

The collaboration, which begins on October 26, 2025, will expand ANA Group’s cargo network, increase transportation capacity and improve customer convenience by leveraging the strengths of both carrier’s large freighter operations.

ANA Holdings acquired 100% of NCA’s shares in August 2025. The combined fleet now includes ANA’s passenger flight network and its fleet of six Boeing 767 freighters and two Boeing 777 freighters, along with NCA’s eight Boeing 747 freighters, enabling the group to handle large-scale cargo transportation globally.

Looking ahead, ANA and NCA have expressed their intent to continue to strengthen their partnership to enhance the ANA Group’s cargo business, delivering competitive, efficient and high-quality services that meet customer needs and support the group’s long-term growth.
