All Nippon Airways (ANA) is a Japanese airline headquartered inMinato, Tokyo. ANA operates services to both domestic and international destinations and is Japan's largest airline, ahead of its main rivalJapan Airlines.[5] As of March 2024,[update] the airline has approximately 12,800 employees.[6] The airline joined as aStar Alliance member in October 1999.
In addition to its mainline operations, ANA controls several subsidiary passenger carriers,[7] such as itsregional airlineANA Wings,Air Nippon,Air Do (alow-cost carrier operating scheduled service betweenTokyo and cities inHokkaido),Air Japan andAllex Cargo (ANA Cargo – the freighter division operated byAir Japan). ANA also ownsPeach, a low-cost carrier which was originally a joint venture with Hong Kong company First Eastern Investment Group.[8]
Founders of Japan Helicopter and Aeroplane Transports and aBell 47D-1
ANA's earliest ancestor wasJapan Helicopter and Aeroplane Transports Company (日本ヘリコプター輸送,Nippon Herikoputā Yusō) (also known as Nippon Helicopter and Aeroplane), an airline company founded on 27 December 1952.[9] Nippon Helicopter was the source of what would later be ANA'sInternational Air Transport Association (IATA)airline code,NH.[10]
Boeing 737-200 in ANA's 1969–1983 "Mohican Livery"The first NH and ANA logo was inspired byLeonardo da Vinci's aerial screw and was replaced with the current logo in 1982 as a livery logo and in 2012 as a corporate logo
NH beganhelicopter services in February 1953. On 15 December 1953, it operated its first cargo flight betweenOsaka andTokyo using ade Havilland Dove, JA5008.[9] This was the first scheduled flight flown by a Japanese pilot in postwar Japan. Passenger service on the same route began on 1 February 1954, and was upgraded to ade Havilland Heron in March.[11] In 1955,Douglas DC-3s began flying for NH as well,[9] by which time the airline's route network extended from northernKyūshū toSapporo. In December 1957 Nippon Helicopter changed its name to All Nippon Airways Company.[12]
ANA's other ancestor wasFar East Airlines (極東航空,Kyokutō Kōkū).[13] Although it was founded on 26 December 1952, one day before Nippon Helicopter, it did not begin operations until 20 January 1954, when it began night cargo runs between Osaka and Tokyo, also using a de Havilland Dove. It adopted the DC-3 in early 1957, by which point its route network extended through southern Japan fromTokyo toKagoshima.[11]
Far East Airlines merged with the newly named All Nippon Airways in March 1958. The combined companies had a totalmarket capitalization of 600 millionyen, and the result of the merger was Japan's largest private airline.[9] The merged airline received a new Japanese name (全日本空輸;Zen Nippon Kūyu; All Japan Air Transport). The new united airline ran a route network that was amalgamated from its two predecessors, and the company logo of the larger NH was chosen to serve as its logo.[9]
ANA grew through the 1960s, adding theVickers Viscount to the fleet in 1960 and theFokker F27 in 1961.[9] October 1961 marked ANA's debut on theTokyo Stock Exchange as well as theOsaka Securities Exchange.[9] 1963 saw another merger, withFujita Airlines, raising the company's capital to 4.65 billion yen.[9] In 1965 ANA introduced its first jet, theBoeing 727 trijet, on the Tokyo-Sapporo route. Prior to this, theJapan Civil Aviation Bureau denied an import license for ANA's 727s unlessJapan Airlines (JAL) acquired their own fleet of 727s.[14] ANA also introduced Japan's first homegrown turboprop airliner, theNAMC YS-11 in 1965, replacingConvair 440s on local routes.[9] In 1969, ANA introduced Boeing 737 services.[9]
As ANA grew, it started to contract travel companies across Japan to handle ground services in each region. Many of these companies received shares in ANA as part of their deals. Some of these relationships continue today in different forms: for instance,Nagoya Railroad, which handled ANA's operations in theChūbu region along with other partnerships,[15] maintains a permanent seat on ANA'sboard of directors.[16] By 1974, ANA had Japan's largest domestic airline network.[13]
While ANA's domestic operations grew, theMinistry of Transport had granted government-owned JAL a monopoly on international scheduled flights[9] that lasted until 1986. ANA was allowed to operate international charter flights: its first was aBoeing 727 charter fromTokyo toHong Kong on 21 February 1971.[17]
ANA bought its first widebody aircraft, sixLockheed L-1011s, in November 1971, following a lengthy sales effort by Lockheed which had involved negotiations between US presidentRichard Nixon, Japanese prime ministerKakuei Tanaka and UK prime ministerEdward Heath (lobbying in favor of engine makerRolls-Royce). Tanaka also pressed Japanese regulators to permit ANA to operate on Asia routes as part of the package.[18] The aircraft entered service on the Tokyo-Okinawa route in 1974. The carrier had orderedMcDonnell Douglas DC-10s but cancelled the order at the last minute and switched to Lockheed. It was later revealed that Lockheed had indirectly bribed Prime MinisterKakuei Tanaka to force this switch: thescandal led to the arrest of Tanaka and several managers from ANA and Lockheed sales agentMarubeni for corruption.[19]
Boeing 747-200s were introduced on the Tokyo-Sapporo and Tokyo-Fukuoka routes in 1976[9] andBoeing 767s in 1983[20] onShikoku routes. The carrier's firstB747s were the short-range SR variant, designed for Japanese domestic routes.[17]
In 1986, ANA began to expand beyond Japan's key domestic carrier to become a competitive international carrier as well,[9] breaking Japan Airlines' monopoly as the sole Japanese flag carrier like many other countries in Asia.[21] On 3 March 1986, ANA started scheduled international flights with a passenger service fromTokyo toGuam.[22] Flights toLos Angeles andWashington, D.C., followed by year's end, and ANA also entered a service agreement withAmerican Airlines[9] to feed the US carrier's new flights toNarita.
ANA expanded its international services gradually: toBeijing,Dalian,Hong Kong andSydney in 1987; toSeoul in 1988; toLondon andSaipan in 1989; toParis in 1990 and toNew York andSingapore in 1991.[23][24] Airbus equipment such as the A320 and A321 was added to the fleet in the early 1990s, as was the Boeing 747-400 jet. ANA joined theStar Alliance in October 1999.[25]
2004 saw ANA's profits exceed JAL's for the first time. That year, facing a surplus of slots due to the construction of new airports and the ongoing expansion ofTokyo International Airport, ANA announced a fleet renewal plan that would replace some of its large aircraft with a greater number of smaller aircraft.[28]
Also in 2004, ANA set up low-cost subsidiaryAir Next to operate flights fromFukuoka Airport starting in 2005, and became the majority shareholder inNakanihon Airline Service (NAL) headquartered inNagoya Airport.[29] In 2005, ANA renamed NAL to Air Central, and relocated its headquarters toChūbu Centrair International Airport.[30] On 12 July 2005, ANA reached a deal withNYK to sell its 27.6% share in Nippon Cargo Airlines, a joint venture formed between the two companies in 1987.[31] The sale allowed ANA to focus on developing its own cargo division. In 2006, ANA,Japan Post,Nippon Express, andMitsui O.S.K. Lines foundedANA & JP Express (AJV), which would operate freighters. ANA is the top shareholder of AJV. It absorbed Air Japan's freighter operations.
Air Transport World named ANA its 2007 "Airline of the Year". In 2006, the airline was recognized by FlightOnTime.info as the most punctual scheduled airline between London and Tokyo for the last four consecutive years, based on official British statistics.[32]Japan Airlines took over the title in 2007. In 2009, ANA announced plans to test an idea as part of the airline's "e-flight" campaign, encouraging passengers on select flights to visit the airport restroom before they board.[33][34] On 10 November of the same year, ANA also announced "Inspiration of JAPAN", ANA's newest international flight concept, with redesigned cabins initially launched on its777-300ER aircraft.[35]
In July 2011, All Nippon Airways andAirAsia agreed to form alow-cost carrier, calledAirAsia Japan, based atTokyo'sNarita International Airport. ANA held 51 percent shares and AirAsia held 33 percent voting shares and 16 percent non-voting shares through its wholly owned subsidiary, AA International.[36] The carrier lasted until October 2013, whenAirAsia withdrew from the joint venture; the carrier was subsequently rebranded asVanilla Air.
In March 2018, All Nippon Airways announced the integration of its twolow cost carrier subsidiariesPeach Aviation andVanilla Air into one entity retaining the Peach name; starting in the second half of FY2018 and to be completed by the end of FY2019.[37]
On 29 January 2019, ANA Holdings purchased a 9.5% stake in PAL Holdings,Philippine Airlines' parent company, for US$95 million.[38]
ANA Holdings Inc. was created in April 2013 due to the "changing landscape of the airline industry", with competition against low cost carriers cited as one of the reasons. The new holding company would have over 70 companies under it, most notably All Nippon Airways, but also low cost subsidiaries such as Peach Aviation, and other catering and ground operations companies. The holding company is led by a separate chairman and CEO.[39]
All Nippon Airways has been led by only a president and CEO since April 2013, when a new parent company was formed. The chairman of All Nippon Airways became the chairman of the holding company, and All Nippon Airways ceased to have its own chairman. The following is a list of presidents and CEOs, along with the year of their appointment:[40]
All Nippon Airways is headquartered in the Shiodome City Center, located in the Shiodome area of Minato, Tokyo.[42][41]
In the late 1960s, the airline was based in the Hikokan Building in Shinbashi, Minato.[43] From the 1970s to the late 1990s, ANA's headquarters were in theKasumigaseki Building in Chiyoda, Tokyo.[44][45][46][47] Prior to relocating to its current site, the company was headquartered on the grounds of Tokyo International Airport in Ōta, Tokyo.[48] In 2002, ANA announced plans to occupy up to ten floors in the under-constructionShiodome City Center and to relocate some subsidiaries there.[49] The building opened in 2003, becoming ANA's new headquarters.[50]
As of July 2025, ANA operated a fleet of eight freighter aircraft, including twoBoeing 767-300(BCF), fourBoeing 767-300F and twoBoeing 777F aircraft.[citation needed] ANA's freighters operate on 18 international routes and 6 domestic routes. ANA operates an overnight cargo hub atNaha Airport inOkinawa, which receives inbound freighter flights from key destinations in Japan, China and Southeast Asia between 1 and 4 a.m., followed by return flights between 4 and 6 a.m., allowing overnight service between these regional hubs as well as onward connections to other ANA and partner carrier flights. The 767 freighters also operate daytime flights from Narita and Kansai to various destinations in East and Southeast Asia.[53] ANA also operates a 767 freighter on an overnight Kansai-Haneda-Saga-Kansai route on weeknights,[54] which is used by overnight delivery services to send parcels to and from destinations inKyushu.[55]
ANA also has a long historical relationship withNippon Cargo Airlines, a Narita-based operator ofBoeing 747 freighters. ANA co-founded NCA with shipping companyNippon Yusen in 1978, and at one time held 27.5% of NCA's stock. ANA sold its stake to NYK in 2005, but retained a technical partnership with NCA.[61] ANA announced in July 2013 that it would charter NCA's 747 freighter aircraft for an overnight cargo run between Narita and Okinawa, doubling capacity between ANA's key cargo hubs and freeing up 767 aircraft to operate new routes from Okinawa to Nagoya and Qingdao.[62]
On 7 March 2023, Nippon Yusen and ANA Holdings announced that ANA would acquire all shares of NCA from Nippon Yusen by 1 October 2023, or a date to be agreed by the two companies.[63][64] ANA is also considering a future merger of ANA Cargo and NCA.[63][65]
ANA operations at its destinations, Haneda Airport (left) and Itami Airport (right)
ANA has an extensive domestic route network that covers the entirety of Japan, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. ANA's international route network extends through China, Korea, India, Southeast Asia, Canada, United States, Mexico, Australia, and Western Europe. Its key international hub isNarita International Airport, where it shares the South Wing of Terminal 1 with itsStar Alliance partners,[66] thoughHaneda Airport is becoming a major international hub due to its close proximity with downtownTokyo and the mass expansions occurring there.
ANA's international network currently focuses on business destinations; its only remaining "resort" routes are its routes from Haneda and Narita to Honolulu; past resort routes such as Narita-Guam, Kansai-Honolulu and Nagoya-Honolulu have been cancelled, although ANA plans to expand resort service in the future through its low-cost subsidiaryPeach Aviation.[67]
On 31 July 2014, ANA firmed up orders for 7 Airbus A320neos, 23 Airbus A321neos, 20 Boeing 777-9s, 14 Boeing 787-9s and 6 Boeing 777-300ERs, to be used for its short and long-haul fleet renewal. Boeing valued ANA's order at approximately $13 billion at list prices.[98]
On 2 February 2015, ANA placed orders with Airbus and Boeing worth $2.2bn for three Boeing 787-10s, five Boeing 737-800s and seven Airbus A321s.[99][unreliable source?] In late July 2015, ANA entered into a secret agreement with Airbus to make additional orders in the future (number and model(s) of aircraft unidentified) in exchange for Airbus support of ANA plans to invest in bankruptSkymark Airlines.[100]
On 29 January 2016, ANA signed a purchase agreement withAirbus, covering firm orders for threeAirbus A380s, for delivery from fiscal 2018 to operate on the Tokyo (Narita) to Honolulu route.
On 11 July 2022, ANA converted two of its 777-9 orders into the freighter variant 777-8F.[90]
ANA was the launch customer for the new Boeing widebody, theBoeing 787 Dreamliner, ordering 50 examples with an option for 50 more in April 2004. ANA split the order between 30 of the short-range 787-3 and 20 of the long-haul 787-8. However, ANA later converted its −3 orders to the −8 variant.[102]
Deliveries finally began in late 2011 when ANA received its first Boeing 787 on 21 September, the first-ever Dreamliner to be delivered in the world. ANA flew its first Boeing 787 passenger flight on 26 October 2011, which operated as a charter flight from Tokyo Narita to Hong Kong.[103] ANA also became the second airline to receive the Boeing 787-9 on 28 July 2014. Despite being second, the airline preceded launch customer Air New Zealand for the first commercial flight on the 787-9, a special sightseeing charter for Japanese and American school children on 4 August.[104][105]
TheNAMC YS-11 was an important aircraft for All Nippon Airways, although most of them were used under the name of ANK, or Air Nippon, a subsidiary of All Nippon Airways. The final YS-11 in operation was retired in 2006.[106] Some YS-11s are in museums, or otherwise scrapped or taken apart. After a final retirement process through September 2006, all YS-11s were grounded, and obligated to retire, unless privately owned and were privately restored. The YS-11 was a big part of All Nippon Airways from the 1970s to the early 1990s when it was used on domestic operations.[106]
ANA flew its last flight of anAirbus A321-100 on 29 February 2008. This marked the end of almost ten years of operation of the Airbus A321-100, of which ANA was the only Japanese operator.[107]
All Nippon Airways had historically operated the following aircraft:[108]
An ANA's747-400 with first revamped "Triton blue" livery
An ANA's787-9 with second revamped "Triton blue" livery
The ANA former "Mohican" livery consists of a blue and white color scheme painted as strip sections on the fuselage, with a blue vertical stabilizer with the former ANA logo. All aircraft wearing this livery are either retired or repainted. In 2010, one Boeing 767-300 was repainted in this livery.
In 1982, ANA officially introduced the "Triton blue" livery, which has a white and grey fuselage, with a blue strip painted under the windows, and the vertical stabilizer is painted blue with the word ANA painted sideways. The Japanese flag, airline's Japanese name and full English name were painted black on top of windows at forward fuselage, while aircraft for domestic flights only have the flag and Japanese name.
Following the introduction of "Triton blue" livery, ANA revamped the livery for multiple times. After few year of original introduction, aircraft such asYS-11,727,737-200, and767-200, which use bare metal belly, replaced with standard grey belly instead. In 2002, as part of airline's rebranding from 1999 to 2002 financial difficulties, ANA replaced the airline's Japanese name and full English name to just ANA logo, while the Japanese flag were moved on below the windows at rear fuselage. Since 2013, to promote "Inspiration of Japan" concept, the second Japanese flag is added before ANA logo, similar to the original livery, and slogan "Inspiration of Japan" is added after ANA logo.
Since 2002, ANA's carter and regional brands are merged their livery to ANA's, while the brand name were written in all-capital after ANA logo. Since 2013, to avoid newly added "Inspiration of Japan" slogan, the brand name were moved to the rear fuselage before the smaller Japanese flag instead.
Many ANA aircraft have operated in specialliveries through the years:
Seven jets inStar Alliance livery: two Boeing 777-200s, one Boeing 777-300ER, one Boeing 767-300ER, one Boeing 767-300, one Boeing 737-800 and one Boeing 787-9
TwelvePokémon-themed jets: five Boeing 747-400s, four Boeing 767-300, one Boeing 777-300, one Boeing 777-300ER[120] and one Boeing 787-9[121]
FourStar Wars-themed jets: one Boeing 787-9 in anR2-D2 livery; one Boeing 777-300ER in aBB-8 livery; one Boeing 767-300ER in a mixed R2-D2 and BB-8 livery; and one Boeing 777-200ER in aC-3PO livery.[122][123][124]
Introduced in 2009, the "Inspiration of Japan" cabin features included fully-lie-flat-bed business class seats, nearly enclosed first class suite seats, fixed shell back seats in both of its economy classes, a new AVOD in-flight entertainment system (based onPanasonic Avionics Corporation's eX2IFE system withiPod connectivity, in-seat shopping and meal ordering as well as cabin touchscreen consoles) as well as improvements to its in-flight service. ANA will introduced a new lounge (which opened on 20 February 2010, supposed to be in coincidence with the introduction of new aircraft interiors but delayed) and check-in concept (later in autumn 2010) at Narita for first class and ANA Mileage Club's Diamond Service elite members.[134]
The introduction of the concept also discontinued the use of the name "Club ANA", which was used for its international business class seats (changing into a generic business class name) as well as the name of the lounges (all lounges for both first class and business class are named "ANA Lounge", with the first class lounge called the "ANA Suite Lounge" and its arrival lounge the "ANA Arrival Lounge").[135]
Old ANA "Inspiration of Japan" 787 Dreamliner economy class
This "Inspiration of Japan" concept was originally set to debut on 20 February 2010 with the delivery of its new Boeing 777-300ER prior to that date, followed by the introduction of the concept on that date on the Narita-New York route. However, due to delays to the new premium economy seats, the debut was pushed back to 19 April. (The delay was due to the failure of a safety test in Japan of a new seat design axle, made by seat manufacturerKoito Industries Ltd. This safety test failure also affected deliveries of aircraft to be operated by three other fellow Star Alliance members –Singapore Airlines for its A380s, Thai Airways'A330s, andContinental Airlines for new 737-800 deliveries.[136][137])
The "Inspiration of Japan" concept has been refitted on its existing 777-300ERs for service on all the airline's North American routes,[138] and may be refitted on its European routes. Parts of it may eventually be phased into its existingBoeing 767-300ERs in service as well as the upcomingBoeing 787s in order.[35][139][140][141]
Since February 2010, ANA offers women's-only lavatories on international flights.[142] The firstBoeing 787 the airline received have thebidets in both economy and business classlavatory.[143]
ANA'sinflight magazine is namedWingspan and is available both on board and as a freely downloadable application for Apple'siPad. The iPad version is namedVirtual Airport and includes content fromWingspan as well as links to airline booking and online check-in pages.[144]
Previously, ANA had a dedicated shuttle bus fromDüsseldorf toFrankfurt Airport so passengers may board ANA flights at that airport, but the bus service was discontinued after ANA began its dedicated Düsseldorf flights in 2014.[145][146]
Former ANABoeing 747-SR destroyed after withdrawal used in the film set of 2005 filmWar Of The Worlds. Note the airline's blue paint still applied on the aircraft with all their logos removed.

Some of ANA's aircraft werePokémon themed. Special exclusive promotional cards were also given out to passengers during certain Pokémon marketing campaigns. As of 2016, most of ANA'sPokémon themed jets have been either retired or repainted. In 2023, ANA reintroduced the Pokémon themed jets with a Boeing 787-9 (JA894A) and a Boeing 777-300ER (JA784A) after 7 years.[148]
The fictional airlineAll Korea Airlines featured in theSBS DramaVagabond, sports similarities to ANA in regards to its name and logo.
