-- カンタス航空（ASX:QAN）とその子会社ジェットスターは、中東紛争による燃料価格の大幅な高騰の影響を緩和するため、既に発表済みの国際線および国内線の運航スケジュール変更を2027年度第1四半期まで延長する予定であることが、オーストラリア証券取引所への金曜日の提出書類で明らかになった。 国際線では、カンタス航空はオーストラリアとヨーロッパ間の便数を増やし続ける。パース～ローマ間の追加便は10月末までさらに3ヶ月間延長され、パリ行きは8月から週3往復便に戻し、シドニー発シンガポール経由の運航を継続する。 カンタス航空によると、これらの変更はヨーロッパへの旅行需要の高まりに対応するもので、毎週2,000席分の座席がヨーロッパ大陸との間で追加される。 また、提出書類によると、これらの変更により、9月期の国際線の供給能力は当初計画していた2パーセントポイント減少する。 国内線ネットワークに関して、カンタス航空は、主に主要都市間の路線において、9月末まで5パーセントポイントの輸送能力削減を延長すると発表した。

Tokyo Inflation Hits Four-Year Low as Oil, Yen Cloud Outlook
Tokyo inflation lost momentum again, underscoring the Bank of Japan's dilemma as price pressures build unevenly. Core consumer prices in the capital rose 1.5% in April, the slowest pace in four years and below the central bank's 2% target for a third straight month.The reading marked a fifth consecutive slowdown and came in under market expectations. A narrower gauge that strips out both fresh food and energy, which is also closely watched by policymakers, increased 1.9%, also easing from the prior month.The softer print partly reflects government fuel subsidies and one-off factors such as a sharp drop in nursery school fees, alongside moderating gains in durable goods and processed food. Energy prices continued to decline, though at a slower pace.Still, the calm may not last. Rising oil prices tied to the Middle East conflict and a weaker yen are expected to push up import costs in the months ahead.The outlook is already complicating policy decisions.The BOJ kept rates unchanged this week in a split decision, even as some officials leaned toward tightening. Governor Kazuo Ueda signaled flexibility, leaving room to wait as risks to growth intensify.Currency moves add another layer. Authorities stepped into the foreign exchange market to support the yen after it slid near 160 per dollar, highlighting concern that prolonged weakness could further inflate import bills."We expect the BOJ to guard against an inflation overshoot. That strengthens the case for a 25-basis-point hike in June, but the latest reading suggests it's far from certain," said Bloomberg economist Taro Kimura."The central bank is also watching uncertainty around the Iran war and the government's willingness to support growth amid a crude oil squeeze."
