Japan's ANA net profit up 72.1pc in first half

TOKYO: Japan's All Nippon Airways on Friday said its first-half interim net profit jumped 72.1 percent as brisk international services offset the impact of the March 11 disaster on domestic flights.

The Japanese carrier said its group net profit in April-September was 22.9 billion yen ($302 million), up from 13.3 billion yen for the same period last year.
