ANA to introduce A380 for Honolulu routes
ANA will introduce the Airbus A380 aircraft on its route between Narita International and Honolulu in spring 2019. The airline also said it is considering using the aircraft, with around 500 seats, on its route between Tokyo’s Haneda and Honolulu. The double-decker A380 is about twice as big as the current aircraft on ANA’s Honolulu routes. ANA president and CE Osamu Shinobe said Monday that introduction of the A380 is unlikely to lead to an excess supply of seats. Shinobe said both the Narita-Honolulu route and the Haneda-Honolulu route currently have seat-occupancy rates of 90%. Hawaii is one of the most popular destinations for Japanese tourists. The A380s used on the routes will be painted with a design featuring the Hawaiian green sea turtle known as “honu” in the Hawaiian language. <br/>
