Current issues and mid-term response policy

Regarding the maintenance of facilities and equipment

  • All aircraft currently operated by our company meet the standards for facilitation of travel, etc., and in the future, when we update our aircraft, we will introduce aircraft that meet the standards for facilitation of travel, etc.
  • The vehicles also meet the standards for mobility assistance measures at destination airports. However, in order to improve convenience for wheelchair users and elderly customers and to ensure safety, the passenger step vehicles with elevators that were deployed at three airports in fiscal 2020 will be deployed more effectively, taking into account the status of boarding bridge maintenance at the airports.

  • We will improve the flow of elderly and wheelchair users when they use airport counters or self-service check-in machines, and work to create a safe and easy-to-use environment.
  • We will make the information on the internet and at airports easier to understand, and encourage the use of various tools such as the writing boards and Pocketalk that are installed at all airports to ensure smooth communication with customers, while also considering introducing more convenient tools.
  • Promote the acquisition of service attendant qualifications among airport staff to increase the number of qualified personnel, and promote the improvement of service by developing educational programs based on the curriculum for service attendant qualifications.
