SINGAPORE, 29 January 2024: ANA plans a direct service from its major Japanese hub at Tokyo Haneda to Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden.
The direct route is due to start with the airline’s northern hemisphere winter schedule that runs from the end of October 2024 to 31 March 2025.
ANA (All Nippon Airways), a member of Star Alliance and the largest provider of scheduled passenger services on the domestic and international market to and from Japan, says the new route will serve as an important connection to the Japanese capital and cities in North Asia.
Japan is Sweden’s second-largest trading partner in Asia, with close to 150 Swedish companies – both major corporations and start-up companies – operating in Japan, the world’s third-largest economy. Sweden, in turn, is Japan’s largest Nordic export market, and roughly 180 Japanese companies have operations in Sweden.
ANA, a member of Star Alliance since 1999, has joint venture agreements with United Airlines, Lufthansa German Airlines, Swiss International Airlines and Austrian Airlines.
