All Nippon Airlines launches new services in Asia
All Nippon Airways (ANA) – Japan’s second largest carrier – will add two further international destinations to its network, commencing in 2011. In March 2011, ANA will commence daily services form its Tokyo (Narita) hub to Manila, Philippines using B767-300ER aircraft.
Meanwhile, the airline will re-start daily services to Jakarta, Indonesia from January 2011, also using B767 aircraft, after a break of three years.
ANA is also increasing its freighter operations to China this month (October), with the addition of two flights to Shanghai Pudong, bringing the total to six per week.
ANA already operates services to 50 destinations in Japan and 35 other international points. Its fleet comprises 168 passenger- and 7 cargo aircraft, with 86 further aircraft on order – including 50 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
ANA plans to launch a new low-cost airline with Hong Kong’s First Eastern Investment group, which is expected to begin operations in the second half of 2011 on domestic and international routes from Osaka Kansai International Airport.
