On January 25, All Nippon Airways Co announced a business plan for fiscal 2007 featuring a realignment of 26 domestic routes to realize operations that can beat high fuel costs and ensure profitability.

Of the 26 routes which account for some 20% of ANA's all domestic routes, six will be closed by stages from April 1, including Sapporo-Memambetsu, Kobe-Kagoshima and Oita-Okinawa, due to low load factors or the ratio of paid passenger seats to the total seat capacity per flight.
