-Major Japanese airline group ANA Holdings Inc. said Thursday that it will promote Senior Executive Vice President Koji Shibata, 64, to its president and CEO to succeed Shinya Katanozaka.
   Katanozaka, 66, will become chairman with the right to represent the holding company. Current Chairman Shinichiro Ito, 71, will step aside to the post of senior adviser.
   All these appointments will take effect on April 1. The top management reshuffle comes at a time when the ANA Holdings group is increasingly seen to be able to overcome the huge earnings impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
   Katanozaka became president and CEO in April 2015. He led the ANA Holdings group's work to rebuild its business, including through reviews in personnel costs, the fleet of aircraft and flight routes, as it faced a plunge in air travel demand due to the spread of the coronavirus since spring 2020.
   Shibata joined All Nippon Airways, which is now the main operating unit of ANA Holdings, in 1982. He has mainly worked to promote the group's international business, serving in posts including general manager in London and head for strategic planning for the Asia-Pacific. He is currently in charge of corporate strategy and public relations.
