Star Alliance member All Nippon Airways (ANA) has announced a major network expansion, including three new routes to Europe from Tokyo’s Haneda airport.
ANA says it will launch flights to Milan, Stockholm and Istanbul during the 2024 winter schedule, previously postponed because of the pandemic. Further information on the new routes will be announced once finalised, the carrier explains.
Moreover, from July, ANA will increase the frequency on Haneda-Munich and Haneda-Paris CDG to daily service.
Starting August, the airline will also resume flights between Haneda and Vienna.
In other markets, ANA says it will increase service between Haneda and Beijing and Shanghai to double daily from 31 March, respectively, while resuming Narita-Hong Kong from 16 April.
Separately, low-cost offshoot AirJapan will increase Narita-Bangkok to daily frequency from 30 April as the ANA subsidiary receives its second 787-8 aircraft.
“The core of our growth in the next fiscal year will be our international flight business. We will firmly resume the international routes that were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and inaugurate flights to new destinations to allow for more and new customers to experience the ANA Group,” said Koji Shibata, president and chief executive officer of ANA’s parent company, ANAHD.
“With the addition of AirJapan, we can leverage three brands and offer customers different options to meet their travel needs. This ambitious network expansion reflects investments to meet demand, while adhering to our sustainable growth mission,” he added.
