Admin’s Note

I believe that Takafumi Horie’s appointment as a director of Tokiea suggests new possibilities for regional aviation. It’s intriguing to think that leveraging his communication skills could lead to greater stability for the company. Particularly from the perspective of regional revitalization, the impact that airlines have on local communities is significant, and I’m eager to watch how this develops in the future.
