[edit] History
Nippon Cargo Airlines was established on September 21, 1978 and started operations in 1985. It was Japan's first all-cargo airline [1]. Over time, their network has grown to include many cities on three continents. Initially, NCA was a joint venture of Nippon Yusen and All Nippon Airways. NCA's livery was similar to that of ANA. In July 2005, ANA sold its stake to Nippon Yusen. NCA changed its livery in the meantime to a more unique design. [2]
