TOKYO April 21, 2011 - A special message supporting the recovery of Japan debuts today on the livery of an ANA plane flying its Japan-Asia routes. The Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, serving the Haneda-Taipei route first, will display the company’s message, “Forward together as one, Japan”. Next week, on April 30th, a 777-300ER aircraft serving ANA’s long-haul flights connecting Tokyo to New York, Frankfurt and London will also display the same message of support. Since March 13, ANA’s international flights have been operating their normal schedule. Following the reopening of Sendai Airport to commercial flights on April 13, ANA is currently flying to all the airports in Japan it regularly serves.
