TOKYO February 23, 2010 - Beginning Monday, March 1st, ANA Group will begin introducing women-only lavatories on ANA Group international routes (all routes excluding A320/B737 aircraft).
Following numerous requests from passengers for this service, one women-only lavatory will be designated in the aft section of the passenger cabin (location may differ depending on aircraft and configuration) and will be available for use by women passengers in all classes of service. Women-only lavatories will be indicated using the signage below.
ANA Group will continue its efforts to improve service, providing our passengers with a highly comfortable flying experience and working to consistently exceed their expectations. |
