TOKYO August 22, 2011- ANA, Japan’s leading airline, is renewing its award-winning airport and in-flight services from autumn. On September 15, a refurbished and redecorated "ANA Lounge" for domestic services will open at Tokyo, Haneda Airport. The lounge, on the north side of the terminal building, will be directly accessible from the "ANA Premium Check-in". ANA was recently judged as having the World’s Best Airport Services at the 2011 World Airline Awards, run by Skytrax. From September 1, ANA will be reviving a popular in-flight dish to celebrate 25 years of ANA international flights. Business Class passengers on international flights from Narita to Europe, North America, and Haneda to Asia will be able to enjoy classic burgers, a dish much loved by customers when originally introduced by ANA. ANA’s Business Class menu on international long-haul flights from Narita will also be introducing the new seasonal dishes reflecting the autumnal flavors presented with a spirit Japanese of hospitality.

The "ANA Lounge" for domestic flights, on the north side of Terminal 2 at Haneda Airport (near to gate 60) is scheduled to open after refurbishment on September 15, 2011.
