ANA to add international routes, aircraft in FY2019

ANA plans to launch new international routes and introduce new aircraft types to its network in fiscal 2019. In the fiscal year that begins April 1, flights from Tokyo Narita International to Perth, Australia, are set to start Sept 1, and to Chennai, India, during the northern winter season. These will follow the launch of a route from Tokyo Haneda to Vienna Feb 17, during fiscal 2018, before the end of the current fiscal year. The daily Perth flights, using Boeing 787-8s, will be ANA’s second Australian route, joining its daily Sydney flights. Details of the daily Chennai flights have yet to be released. ANA already operates daily flights to Delhi and Mumbai in India, and the carrier said the Chennai route will be the first direct link between Japan and southern India. ANA plans to introduce its first Airbus A380 on its Narita-Honolulu route from May 24. <br/>
