TOKYO July 13, 2012 - ANA has been named as the Best Transpacific Airline in the 2012 World Airline Awards run by Skytrax. The award was presented at a ceremony during the Farnborough Airshow, held near London on July 12.

This is the second year that ANA has been recognized by the Skytrax World Airline Awards, following awards for World's Best Airport Services and Staff Service Excellence, Asia, at the 2011 ceremony. The Best Transpacific Airline Award is based on a comprehensive appraisal of ANA's products and customer services including airport check-in, airport lounges, cabin service and arrival at airports.

Under our brand concept “Inspiration of Japan”, we are working hard to exceed passengers' expectations and deliver an outstanding in-flight experience.”

ANA currently operates eight routes across the Pacific, with a ninth route from Narita to Seattle scheduled to launch on July 25, and a further route between Narita and San Jose scheduled to begin operations during the current fiscal year.
