Japanese airline ANA is to introduce three new routes to Europe this winter as part of a major expansion of its European network.

ANA will launch a service to Milan from Tokyo’s Haneda airport on 3 December. This will be followed by a new Haneda-Stockholm route on 31 January 2025 and then Haneda-Istanbul on 12 February.

The airline said that each of these three new routes would operate three times per week in both directions.

ANA’s expanded schedule will increase its capacity to Europe by 144 per cent compared to the previous year. This winter, the airline will fly to eight European countries and nine cities, including London, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna and Brussels.

Other moves this winter will see ANA resume services from Narita to Perth in Western Australia on 14 October with three flights per week, while frequencies on its Haneda-Bangkok and Narita-Hong Kong routes will also be increased this winter.
