ANA revises flight schedule for the second half of FY2011

TOKYO August 23, 2011 – ANA Group today announced its revised flight schedule for the second half of fiscal year 2011.

Although demand for air travel was severely affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, it is now recovering gradually and ANA is looking to further expand its flight network with the introduction of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, first deliveries of which begin in September.

The changes to ANA’s flight schedule will involve the launch of a number of new domestic and international routes and the introduction of larger aircraft and increased frequencies on some city pairs. On a number of domestic routes, frequencies will be decreased to reflect demand. Details of the planned changes can be found below.
