Japanese Airline ANA Holdings has signed a purchase agreement with Airbus covering the firm order of three A380s.

ANA Group will take delivery of the aircraft from 2019 and has selected Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines to power the fleet.


ANA Holdings’ new order follows a recent order placed in 2014 and 2015 for 37 A320 Family single aisle aircraft.

Airbus says the A380 allows airlines to maximize their revenue potential through an optimized cabin – boosting their contribution to profit by up to 65 per cent per flight compared to its nearest competitor. Its unbeatable passenger experience leads to higher load factors and more revenue, for higher profitability.

The A380 carries 544 passengers in a typical comfortable four class configuration on routes up to 8,200 nm/15,200 km. From Tokyo this enables non-stop service to the US as well as to destinations across Europe.

Including the ANA Holdings’ order, Airbus has now received a total of 319 firm orders for the A380 from 19 airlines worldwide, of which 179 A380s have been delivered to 13 world class airlines. Currently, A380 is operated on over 100 routes to 50 destinations.
