ANA receives first A380; plans to double capacity to Hawaii
ANA received its first of 3 Airbus A380s March 20, which the carrier plans to use to double capacity between Japan and Hawaii. Hawaii is the number one resort destination for Japanese travellers, and ANA operates Boeing 787s on the Tokyo Narita-Honolulu route with a 90% load factor, ANA marketing executive Nanako Murakami said. ANA will put 2 A380s into operation this year, May 24 and July 1, and a third on an unspecified date in 2020. With the first aircraft, ANA will operate 3 flights a week; the second will bring the total to 10 flights a week. Each A380 will be equipped with 520 seats, more than double the capacity of an ANA 787, Murakami said. The cabin will be configured with 383 seats in economy class, 73 in premium economy and 56 in business, as well as a new eight-seat first class intended for honeymooners. <br/>
