TOKYO January 27, 2006 - ANA and Skynet Asia Airways (SNA) will start a code-share agreement from April 1 this year in which ANA will place its flight code on SNA flights between Tokyo's Haneda airport and the southern Japanese cities of Miyazaki, Kumamoto and Nagasaki. SNA flights will at the same time be listed on ANA's reservations system, and be available for sale through ANA's other sales channels. The code-share agreement will see an increase in ANA flights from Tokyo to Kyushu by 18 return flights per week, and tickets will go on sale from February 1 this year. Details follow below. In a move which will facilitate passenger convenience, SNA will change from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 at Haneda Airport (the ANA terminal), and its check-in counters located next to those of Air Do and the Tokyo Excel Hotel at the northern end of the building. Thanks to the move, not only will passengers be able to enjoy the superior facilities of the new terminal building, but onward connections on ANA flights to other parts of Japan will be simpler and shorter, and through check-in and through baggage mean changing aircraft will be easier than ever. SNA customers will also be able to avail themselves of ANA self-service check-in and ticketing machines, making their passage through the airport smoother, quicker and more convenient. These changes extend beyond ground services, and once onboard, SNA customers will again be able to enjoy drinks and newspapers in flight, a service which had previously been stopped. At the time of making reservation and/ or payment, they will also be able to assign their seating, within the limitation of their fare bracket. From April 1, SNA tickets can be reserved and paid for at any ANA branch or airport counter, as well as from approximately 800 travel agents up and down the country. Furthermore, customers will be able to avail themselves of ANA's tie-up with nationwide convenience store chains Lawson and Family Mart to purchase tickets, if this suits their needs better.
