ANA, All Nippon Airways, is Japan's largest airline, operating about 240 aircraft from Tokyo's Haneda and Narita airports across a dense domestic network and a growing international map of about 100 destinations. It launched the Boeing 787 into commercial service in 2011 and remains the type's largest operator anywhere.

Within ANA Holdings, the full-service flag carrier sits alongside low-cost Peach Aviation and medium-haul startup AirJapan, while joint ventures with United Airlines and Lufthansa Group anchor its Star Alliance role. Inbound tourism to Japan at record levels has made its Haneda hub one of aviation's strongest recovery stories.
