ANA announced that it will double the number of flights it operates between Tokyo (Narita) and Chicago and that it will resume its Nagoya (Chubu) – Shanghai service during the summer timetable.
TOKYO – ANA, Japan’s largest airline group, announced that it will double the number of flights it operates between Tokyo (Narita) and Chicago, from 7 flights a week to 14 as the Group looks to capitalize on the growth in demand for connections between Asia and North America. ANA apologizes to customers for any inconvenience that this decision may cause.
This change will take place from June 29 2013. The move is part of ANA’s rapid route expansion between Japan and North America this fiscal year, including the launch of the Tokyo – Seattle route in July 2012, the increase in capacity on the Tokyo – New York route which became a double daily service in October 2012 and the introduction of Tokyo – San Jose services from January 11, 2013.
ANA also announced that it will resume its Nagoya (Chubu) – Shanghai service during the summer timetable (from March 31 until October 26, 2013). The flight will operate with a convenient timetable, departing Nagoya in the morning and the return flight departing Shanghai in the afternoon.
Reservation and sales for both routes will begin from December 26.
ANA will continue monitor the level of demand closely and will announce any further changes in due course.
