We Tokyo-U students visited Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA), with headquarter in Narita International Airport, as an activity of“Aviation System International Project Based Learning, which is held by the University of Tokyo and Boeing Japan corp. Our team had the question how we can carry Japanese regional products to all over the world more and more, and we focused on the potential possibility of aviation cargo business.
NCA is an only all-cargo airline in Japan with 8 B747-400Fs, in Japan, which deals with freight globally, with 8 B747-400Fs and 5 B747-8Fs(the latest model). NCA operates these planes as scheduled flight and charter one all over the world.
NCA, which is specializing in freighters, provided us with, provided us with know-how accumulated over time and information of its facilities in detail. NCA also gave us feasible idea about its challenge, for example, decrease of quantity of products which were Japanese forte before like electro devices, due to propagation of “smart phone” which plays a lot of roles alone.
Visiting maintenance facility of B747 and warehouses in cargo area allowed us to realize how operation of international shipment is and we could get better understanding of the aviation cargo field.
We really appreciate to NCA for your kindness. Thanks a lot.

我々は「航空システム国際PBL」講義では、現在の航空機産業への新しいアイデア/サービス提案が課題として受講者に出ております。我々のチームは地域の特産物をもっと世界に売り出せないか?と考え、その中で航空貨物事業の可能性に注目し、今回は成田国際空港にある日本貨物航空株式会社(NCA)様を訪問させて頂きました。
NCAは日本で唯一の貨物専門エアラインであり、B747-400Fを8機、B747-8Fを5機所有されており世界各地に定期便とチャーター便を運航されています。今回の訪問ではNCA(株)様の培ってきた経験や施設設備についての詳しい解説をして頂くとともに、例えばスマートフォンによる多機能製品により従来日本が強みを発揮していた分野での輸送の必要性の減少など、現在航空貨物輸送業界の抱える課題についても詳しく教えて頂けました。
また、B747の整備施設見学や輸入貨物を実際に取り扱う施設(上屋)の見学を通して実際に貨物のハンドリングが行われている様子を体感することができ航空貨物輸送現場についての見識を深めることができました。
ご多忙の中、私たちのために貴重な体験をさせて頂いたNCAの皆様に感謝するとともに、今回お伺いした内容をもとに業界研究を進め、是非とも来たる9月26日の4大学アイデアコンテストでは、優勝をめざしたいと思っております!
