ANA Group's Initiatives

For added reassurance to our customers while traveling, our ground staff and cabin attendants will be wearing masks. Ground staff may additionally wear face shields on top of the mask when working in close proximity with our customers.

*Staff working outside may not wear a facial covering in order to avoid heatstroke and for other reasons, but will continue to observe social distancing measures.

Cabin attendants and ground staff working at lounges will wear gloves when serving food and drinks. The food and drinks in the lounge will be individually packaged.
At the airport, we will install hand sanitizer stations at various touch points throughout the airport.
At select airports within Japan, vinyl curtains will be installed at our check-in counters as well.
Self-service check-in machines and other equipment will be disinfected periodically.

The staff at airport facilities, security checkpoints and boarding gates will guide and assist passengers in maintaining an appropriate distance between each other. Social distancing procedures at security check points are under way and will be implemented as soon as they become available.
We highly encourage our customers to check-in online, as well as using self-baggage drops for your checked baggage.

As a precautionary measure, we give top priority to our customer’s comfort and safety during boarding.
To avoid close contact and congestion in the cabin and aisles, we will give boarding priority to those passengers seated in the rear end of the cabin, and then to those seated in the front of the plane.
Although the priority boarding will be temporarily suspended accordingly, dedicated boarding lane* for Star Alliance Gold members will be served by your boarding group.

*Subject to airport and aircraft

We kindly ask for your understanding in this matter and thank you for your cooperation.

Boarding order (for both domestic and international flights):
Rear (window seat → middle seat → aisle seat → front (window seat → middle seat → aisle seat)

*The above boarding order is based on a joint research conducted by Professor Nishinari's lab at the University of Tokyo and ANA.

To reassure a comfortable and safe environment for our passengers on board, we manually and thoroughly disinfect areas where passengers frequently touch in the cabin, such as tables, armrests, seat TVs, controllers and lavatory door knobs (exceptions may apply when turnaround times become very limited).

Disinfecting for international flights will take place after every flight.
For Japan domestic flights, the cabin will be disinfected every night, and lavatories will be manually sanitized after each flight.

While the aircraft cabins are cleaned and disinfected regularly, additional antibacterial wipes and disposal bags are available onboard. After using the wipes, please put the wipes in the disposal bags and return them to the cabin attendants.

All aircrafts operated by ANA are ventilated with clean air.

• Clean air through adequate ventilation
  The aircraft absorbs a large amount of clean air from the sky, which allows for the cabin's entire air to be replaced in approximately three minutes.
• All ANA Group Aircraft are equipped with high-performance filters
  The cabin air is filtered and circulated through high-performance filters which are also used in hospital operating rooms, ensuring high-quality clean air.
• Constant air circulation
  The cabin air is constantly flowing, from the ceiling to the floor. The air in the cabin does not stay stagnant. The above air circulation systems are being operated when on the ground as well.
