He stated, “ANA’s investment in a direct route from Stockholm Arlanda to Tokyo Haneda demonstrates this confidence.” “ANA will play a crucial role in connecting Sweden to Japan and other key Asian markets. Swedavia aims to enhance connectivity, and ANA’s vast network facilitates meetings for business, leisure, and family visits.” Shinichi Inoue, President and CEO of ANA, added, “We’re excited to add Stockholm to our expanding European network.” “We look forward to strengthening ties between Japan and Sweden, fostering closer relations between our nations.”<br/>
