ANA to begin Tokyo Narita-Chennai service on 27 October

ANA will launch a new Tokyo Narita-Chennai route from 27 October. The thrice-weekly flights will be operated by a Boeing 787-8s with 169 seats. ANA is the first carrier to operate on the route, which is its third destination in India after Mumbai and Delhi. “It is always exciting to add a new destination, but it is even more significant to be the only carrier offering connecting this growing region with Japan,” says Seiichi Takahashi, ANA’s senior vice-president. International passenger service is the group’s main revenue source, he adds, and thus hopes to improve its market share. As previously announced, ANA will also commence Tokyo Narita-Perth flights on 1 September.<br/>
