May 19, 2000 — All Nippon Airways (ANA) today announced that it will offer "ANA SUPER STYLE", a high-grade service featuring an AVOD system (Audio and Video on Demand*), a bar counter and an in-flight rice cooker **on the U.S. network (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco) by November. "ANA SUPER STYLE" is an expansion of the high-grade service, formerly known as "ANA CHICAGO STYLE" which today we provide on the Tokyo-Chicago route.

ANA today has just started to operate a brand new Boeing 777-200ER equipped with an AVOD system, a bar corner and an in-flight rice cooker on the Tokyo-Chicago route. Also, ANA will add two more of these B777-200ERs with these latest in-flight systems by November, and another B747-400 also "ANA SUPER STYLE" equipped in July, which two are already in operation.

With the six "ANA SUPER STYLE" equipped aircraft (three B777-200ERs and three B747-400s), we provide our passengers a relaxing atmosphere to feel totally at home while in cabin, and also business corners or laptop battery packs available at his-her desire. Furthermore, passengers may freely use an in-flight bar to refresh and enjoy a variety of beverages throughout the flight.

ANA currently offers a direct service to 6 cities (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington and Honolulu) from Japan with 59 flights a week on the North America network. Including the code-shared flights with our Star Alliance partner, Air Canada and United Airlines, ANA's network covers 36 destinations in the North American continent.
.
ANA and Air Canada have plans to expand its existing code-share services connecting through U.S. gateways to Canadian cities from this summer. Also, the scheduled code-sharing relationship with Mexicana Airlines later this year, officially joining Star Alliance in July, will form the basis of a stronger ANA's North America network, offering convenient access from Japan to key destinations throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

As a member of the Star Alliance and a leading airline of the 21st century, ANA's international network continues to grow. You can spend your time on our flight the way you want and take advantage of the ANA's international network for your business trips.


* Passengers may freely select Audio/Video channels of their choice any time during the flight. Available for First Class and CLUB ANA (Business Class) passengers.
