ANA Plans Major Fleet Expansion with 77 New Aircraft Across Three Manufacturers
ANA Holdings has announced a major fleet expansion with orders for 77 new aircraft from Airbus, Boeing, and Embraer, valued at approximately $14.7 billion.
This significant order includes 68 firm commitments and 9 options across multiple aircraft types.
This move supports the airline's long-term growth strategy and will help enhance both international and domestic operations.
Key Points
- The order includes 18 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners with GE engines for international routes, particularly targeting growing Asia-North America demand
- ANA will become Japan's first operator of the Embraer E190-E2, with 15 firm orders and 5 options for these 100-seat jets to serve domestic routes
- The airline's low-cost carrier Peach Aviation will receive 10 Airbus A321neo aircraft and 3 Airbus A321XLR aircraft for medium to long-haul operations
- Additional orders include 14 Airbus A321neo and 12 Boeing 737-8 aircraft (8 firm orders and 4 options) to update the current fleet
- ANA has also finalized options for 5 Boeing 787-9 aircraft and 10 Boeing 737-8 aircraft from previous commitments
- Deliveries are scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2028 and continue through 2033
- By FY2030, ANA Holdings expects to operate approximately 320 aircraft, with fuel-efficient models comprising 91% of its fleet
What It Means
This massive order is a strategic move by ANA to capitalize on Japan's booming tourism market while modernizing its fleet with more fuel-efficient aircraft.
The diverse manufacturer approach gives ANA flexibility across various route types, with the Embraer E2s particularly interesting for right-sizing domestic operations.
The A321XLR acquisition for Peach signals a potential shift toward budget long-haul routes.
