ANA Holdings has decided to place new orders for 77 aircraft in total, which values 2.2 trillion yen on a catalogue price basis in order to prepare for an increase in international flight demand, including inbound travel demand to Japan, in the future. Adding the new ordered aircraft, ANA will operate a fleet of about 320 aircraft as of 2030. 

Koji Shibata, ANA Holdings CEO, commented, “This order will be the catalyst for improving the profitability of domestic flights and the expansion of international flights which is an area of future growth of our airline business. We will fully utilize this opportunity in order to become an industry-leading airline with sustainable growth.”

ANA HD will order 18 Boeing 787-9s powered by GE engines mainly for flights between Aisa and North America and from re-expanded Narita Airport. With a fleet of about 120 787 series aircraft as of 2030, ANA expects to raise the ratio of its fuel-efficient aircraft to 91% of the total.

To optimize long-and-mid term supply and demand in the domestic flight network, ANA will also order 20 100-seats Embraer E190-E2s (15 confirmed orders and 5 options)), which will be introduced in Japan for the first time. ANA expects to begin taking delivery of the low-fuel and low-noise aircraft in 2028. 

In addition, 14 A321neos and 12 Boeing 737-8s(8 confirmed orders and 4 options)) will be ordered to replace the aging aircraft.

For Peach Aviation, a LCC of ANA Group, ANA Holdings has ordered three A321XLRs and 10 A321neos. The long-range A321XLR will allow Peach to increase middle-range international destinations, and A321neo will replace the current A320ceo and A321neo for domestic and short-range international flights.
