It will also add five domestic and four international routes, while reducing the number of flights on four domestic routes.

The announcement came just a day after All Nippon Airways (9202.T), Japan's second-largest airline, said it would reduce or halt services on 11 routes, including those to Guam and Taipei, due to the soaring cost of aviation fuel.
