TOKYO June 22, 2011 - ANA, Japan’s largest airline, today gave passengers the first glimpse of what the future of air travel will look like when it unveiled the cabin design for its fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners to be used on international routes.

The cabin layout, shown for the first time at the Paris Airshow, will provide customers with a new and unparalleled flight experience in the world’s most advanced and innovative aircraft.

Based on ANA’s ‘Inspiration of Japan’ brand concept, the cabin layout will combine ANA’s superior levels of service with new standards of passenger comfort, made possible by the revolutionary design of the Dreamliner.

On long-haul international flights, Business Class passengers will enjoy full flat beds, 17 inch touch panel LCD screens and aisle access from every seat. And passengers in every class will experience more room, more light and a more natural cabin environment, thanks to the lower cabin attitude and higher humidity that the Dreamliner’s composite fuselage design allows.

ANA has ordered 55 Dreamliners and will be the launch customer for the aircraft when deliveries begin this August or September.

For both long-haul and short-haul routes, the cabin will consist of two classes: Business Class and Economy Class. The routes the aircraft will fly will be announced at a later stage.

Business Class on long-haul international flights will feature ANA’s BUSINESS STAGGERED seating, with aisle access from all seats which recline fully into a flat bed. This seating arrangement allows passengers to relax in their own personal space and leave their seat without disturbing their neighbor.

Widescreen LCD, touch panel
Passengers will enjoy a range of entertainment services including movies, videos, music, and computer games on the 17 inch touch panel type widescreen LCD, one of the largest Business Class screens.

Other features
All Business Class seats are equipped with a universal PC power source, a USB port and an iPod jack.

In Economy Class, a fixed-back shell type seat will be installed for both long-haul and short-haul flights. The fixed-back shell seat lets passengers use the reclining position without worrying about the passenger behind them.
Passengers can also enjoy a range of entertainment services including movies, videos, music, and computer games on the touch panel monitor. All seats are equipped with a universal PC power source and a USB port. On long haul flights, seats are also equipped with an iPod jack.

The innovative aircraft also includes customer-friendly characteristics including:

Larger Windows
The windows are approximately 47-centimeters tall and 28-centimeters wide, more than 30% larger than on the Boeing 767. The additional light and wider field of view makes for a more comfortable cabin.

Larger Overhead Compartments
The overhead compartments will be the biggest in the industry. They are 30% larger than the 777’s bins and have enough space for four regulation size carry-on bags.

Toilet Equipped with Hot Water Washer
Toilets in each class have Washlet toilet seats, which are equipped with a hot water washer designed for in-cabin use. The seats were jointly developed by Toto Ltd., Jamco Corporation and The Boeing Company.
*Washlet is a registered trademark of Toto Ltd.

Passenger-friendly cabin
Passenger comfort will be improved by maintaining air pressure at the equivalent of an altitude of 6000 feet (1800 meters), in comparison to 8000 feet on previous aircraft, and higher levels of humidity.
