All Nippon Airways (ANA) has warned that a possible ANA Group Pilot Union strike on 28 June could cause 166 domestic flights to be cancelled and 36 delayed.
"The strike threat is primarily due to unhappiness on training. The pilots, employed at four ANA group companies operating small jets and propeller planes, have been demanding training for larger aircraft," said a company spokeswoman.
ANA will meet with its four pilot unions this evening to negotiate training terms, added the spokeswoman.
The ANA Group Pilot Union consists of the Air Nippon Crew's Association, Air Nippon Network Pilot Union, Air Next Crew's Association and Air Central Pilots Union.
The company said that there will be no disruptions to international flights.
