• Import Loans
• Guarantees

1. The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC; Governor: AMAKAWA Kazuhiko) signed today a guarantee agreement (total principal covered by guarantee: approximately JPY17.8 billion) with private financial institutions^*1 for the principal and interest of their loans to ANA HOLDINGS INC.
     
2. This guarantee is intended to support the ANA Group in obtaining financing from private financial institutions to import an aircraft from The Boeing Company in the U.S., thereby contributing toward maintaining and enhancing the international competitiveness of the Japanese aviation industry.
     
3. The ANA Group has developed a transition strategy to achieve carbon neutrality and is promoting efforts to reduce total CO2 emissions to net zero by 2050. Recognizing CO2 emissions from aircraft as a particularly significant issue, the ANA Group has been proactive in replacing its fleet with more fuel-efficient aircraft. The import of this aircraft aligns with its transition strategy and helps to reduce environmental impact.
     
4. Aircraft account for approximately 96% of Japan’s international passenger transportation and are also widely used for the transport of critical cargo such as semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. As such, aircraft serve as a cornerstone of international mobility and logistics, and constitute indispensable infrastructure for the sustainable development of socio-economic activities. Through the provision of this guarantee, this project aims to support the stable procurement of aircraft by the ANA Group and thereby contribute toward maintaining and strengthening essential social infrastructure of critical importance to Japan’s economic and national security.
     
5. As Japan's policy-based financial institution, JBIC will continue to actively provide financial support for the import of aircraft that are indispensable to the lives of the people in Japan, as well as for initiatives by Japanese companies to realize a decarbonized society, in collaboration with private financial institutions.
