We believe that this additional introduction of Airbus aircraft will further deepen our relationship,” said Koji Shibata, Representative Director, President and CEO of ANAHD
“We will accelerate the introduction of state-of-the-art and fuel-efficient aircraft to provide our passengers with excellent service and to reduce CO2 emissions,” Shibata added.
Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business said: “From its first order in 1987 to an order book now approaching 100 aircraft, ANA has been a long-standing customer for the A320 Family. The exciting addition of the A321XLR for Peach Aviation further underscores ANA’s innovative spirit and trust in the A320 Family’s unrivaled capabilities.”
