TOKYO -- ANA Holdings on Friday posted a net loss of 51.1 billion yen ($466 million) for the April to June quarter, more than halving its 108.8 billion net loss for the same period in 2020, thanks to cost-cutting measures amid lingering COVID-19 woes.

The airline, referring to the swift recovery of its counterparts in the U.S., said the rollout of vaccines is key to attracting passengers, adding that as more people in Japan are vaccinated, people will fly more.
