ANA Holdings Inc. sharply cut on Monday its earnings estimate for the 2019 business year as the coronavirus pandemic heavily reduced demand for air travel.

The operator of All Nippon Airways Co. slashed its group net profit forecast to 27 billion yen ($250 million), down 71.3 percent from the earlier estimate of 94 billion yen, for the year ended last month.
