ANA Takes Off: Big Growth in Global Flights and New Routes to Europe

The ANA Group (including Japan Airlines and its low-cost arm Peach) has just announced a bold expansion for the second half of 2025 — and the numbers speak for themselves. International flight capacity will grow by 106%, with exciting new routes and more frequent flights to key destinations.

✈️ More International Flights, More Possibilities

Starting October 26, ANA will boost service on the Narita–Hong Kong route to seven weekly flights. From December 1, the Haneda–Hong Kong route will also jump to 14 flights per week.

New long-haul routes include:

  • Narita–Perth: daily flights
  • Narita–Mumbai: five flights weekly
  • Narita–Brussels: ramping up to three regular flights per week by March 2, 2026

🍑 Peach Expands Too

Low-cost carrier Peach, part of the ANA Group, is significantly growing its international network:

  • Narita–Taipei: +7 flights per week (total 21 by March 2026)
  • Kansai–Taipei: +6 flights weekly (total 27 by year-end)

AirJapan will continue flying from Narita to Bangkok, Singapore, and Seoul, with adjustments based on demand.

🇯🇵 Domestic Flights Stay Strong

ANA will maintain 99% of its domestic flight schedule compared to the previous year, with more frequency on popular routes like Haneda–Sapporo and Haneda–Fukuoka. Peach will also boost service on the Kansai–Fukuoka route.

📦 Cargo Services Get a Lift

Cargo operations are growing too. ANA is increasing freight capacity through dedicated aircraft and belly cargo on passenger flights — especially on Asia–North America routes. The recent addition of Nippon Cargo Airlines to the group (from August 2025) is expected to further enhance the network, although it’s not yet reflected in this schedule.

The Bigger Picture

According to ANA Group’s management, this new flight plan highlights the company’s focus on:

  • Global expansion
  • Better passenger experience
  • Smarter, more profitable operations

In short: ANA is doubling down on the skies — with Europe, Asia, and beyond firmly in view.

Safe, Serene, Stunning: European Cities to Love
When travelers think about safety in Europe, their minds often go to quiet Swiss towns or Scandinavian efficiency. But a recent study has flipped expectations — placing Eastern European cities at the top of the continent’s safety rankings. With low crime, rare civil unrest, and an overall sense of stability, these destinations are not just beautiful, but surprisingly secure.
