TOKYO October 24th, 2013 –From December 2013, ANA will be launching enhanced in-flight meals mainly on international flights for Economy and Premium Economy customers. More than 80% of ANA’s international passengers choose to fly Economy Class and the airline is proud to provide an excellent, quality in-flight service. Economy Class in-flight meals will be developed by "THE CONNOISSEURS", an in-flight meal team composed of 10 renowned chefs, five liquor and coffee professionals and nine of ANA’s own catering chefs. THE CONNOISSEURS are among the most talented of any of the world’s airline chefs and currently cater for ANA’s Business and First Class passengers. ANA will also be renewing meal choices for children and offering additional ranges in Premium Economy.

ANA is the only Japanese airline to have been awarded the 5-Star Airline Rating*1 for services. The airline is committed to ongoing service enhancements to ensure every customer – from business to family traveller – enjoys flying with ANA. The changes announced today are built on improvements in in-flight dining, bedding and amenities introduced on international First and Business Class flights in July this year.

In collaboration with THE CONNOISSEURS and ANA’s own passengers and staff, ANA has developed a new, delicious in-flight menu for Economy Class. The Menu, developed by THE CONNOISSEURS, was voted through Facebook and ANA employees have also chosen their preferred menu. Not only Japanese but Western and Asian cuisines will be served on flights to meet the different tastes of our customers.
