All Nippon Airways (ANA) is expanding its international routes, bringing its volume of global flight business back to that of pre-pandemic levels.
The Japanese airline will launch flights to Milan in December 2024, followed by Stockholm in January 2025 and Istanbul in February 2025. Each new route will serve Tokyo Haneda with three round trips a week.
ANA will roll out three new routes from Tokyo to Milan, Stockholm, and Istanbul
The growth, which was scheduled but postponed due to global travel restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, is designed “to cater to growing demand for travel and strengthen bilateral exchanges” between Japan and the new countries in the network, said ANA in a statement.
The move builds on ANA’s recent route development, which saw its Paris and Munich flights increase to daily operations from July and its route to Vienna resume on August 1.
The Stockholm route is expected to “enhance convenience for passengers connecting to the Nordic region” while the new Istanbul route “will provide improved connectivity to the Middle East and Africa via Istanbul’s extensive hub network”, said ANA.
ANA president and CEO Shinichi Inoue stated the new routes “reflect ANA’s commitment to meet the increasing demand for travel between Japan and each country”.
The expansion of routes is also expected to increase the appetite among Japanese travellers to take trips overseas amid a slow recovery of the outbound market.
“We hope this expansion provides our travellers with greater choice, new customer experiences and reinforces our commitment to a seamless and enjoyable journey,” said Inoue.
