ANA taking reservations for flights on largest jet

ANA has begun taking reservations for flights between Tokyo and Honolulu on an Airbus A380. The airline expects to put its first 520-seat aircraft into service in late May. It started reserving seats earlier this month, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Thursday. The carrier ordered 3 Airbus A380s in 2016. ANA plans to launch service on the A380 with flights 3 days per week between Honolulu and the Narita International. It currently has 2 flights departing from Narita to Honolulu and 1 flight departing from Haneda to Honolulu. Both airports serve the Tokyo area. The airline anticipates moving to 10 flights per week when the second A380 enters service in July. The airline expects to ramp up its Japan-Hawaii capacity to about 1,300 customers per day by 2020 if all goes according to plan, said Jun Miyagawa, the airline's senior VP of sales. <br/>
