ANA will launch direct route to Tokyo established at Stockholm Arlanda Airport

Wednesday, January 24, 2024

ANA, Japan’s largest airline and a prominent member of the Star Alliance, is set to establish its presence at Stockholm Arlanda Airport by introducing a direct route to Tokyo Haneda before the commencement of the 2024 winter schedule. This strategic move positions ANA as a key player in connecting the Swedish capital with Tokyo, a major hub in Asia.

The significance of ANA’s investment in a direct route reflects a high level of confidence in the Swedish air travel market. By fostering this connection, ANA not only solidifies its role in linking Sweden to Japan but also establishes a vital link to broader Asian and South Pacific markets through its extensive network.

There is great confidence in the Swedish air travel market and ANA’s investment in a direct route from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Tokyo Haneda is a clear sign of this. ANA will play an important role in connecting Sweden to Japan and other well-established markets in Asia. Swedavia’s main goal is to increase the connectivity and ANAs vast network facilitates for people to meet, whether it is for business, leisure or to visit family and friends, says Jonas Abrahamsson, president and CEO of Swedavia.

With Japan being Sweden’s second-largest trading partner in Asia, the introduction of the direct route signifies a boost to the already robust economic ties between the two countries. The route is expected to play a crucial role in supporting the hospitality industry and fostering business exchanges between Japan and Sweden. Additionally, the expedited delivery times resulting from the direct route will benefit the transportation of important cargo, such as technology.

Commencing operations ahead of the winter schedule in 2024, the Stockholm Arlanda Airport – Tokyo Haneda route is anticipated to contribute significantly to the seamless connection between these two important global hubs.
