My PageAnnouncement of 「AIRDO Medium-term Corporate Strategy Rolling Plan FY 2018-2020」
May 30, 2018
We would like to announce here the newly formulated Medium-term Corporate Strategy Rolling Plan FY 2018-2020 (hereinafter "Rolling Plan") of AIRDO Co., Ltd.
In March 2016, AIRDO established the Medium-term Corporate Strategy FY 2015-2018 (hereinafter the "Medium-term Corporate Strategy"). In FY 2017, to be an unrivaled airline suited to be called the Wings of Hokkaido, we endeavored to maintain safe flight operation (continuing our Zero Accidents, Zero Serious Incidents record since the formation of the company), while working cross-departmentally with the aim of becoming Japan's most popular airline. Such efforts involved various activities to improve operations quality including on-time performance rates as well as to establish the Customer Satisfaction Policy for the further increase of customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, the shortage of flight crews from their retirement necessitated the abolishment of the service between New Chitose - Hiroshima and New Chitose - Okayama, reduction of flights between New Chitose - Sendai and New Chitose - Chubu, and the revision of the route and flight frequency plan. We took this situation seriously and, as our top-priority management goal, have been devoting ourselves to secure and train personnel including flight crews.
In this Rolling Plan, we will continue to focus on the efforts included in the Medium-term Corporate Strategy. At the same time, with respect to the plans and activities subject to changes, we will review those on the basis of stable production planning, and will make steady progress.
