Pioneering fuel-saving innovation
All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan's largest airline and renowned for its “Flying Honu” turtle-themed Airbus A380s, has welcomed another marine-life-inspired aircraft to its fleet: its first Boeing 777 equipped with Aeroshark. This revolutionary surface technology is inspired by shark skin, reduces drag, and enhances fuel efficiency.
ANA is the first individual airline to operate both passenger and freighter variants of the Boeing 777 with this innovation.
The first modified Boeing 777F (JA771F) began scheduled cargo flights today, with plans to extend the Aeroshark technology to a passenger aircraft (JA796A) by next spring, furthering ANA’s commitment to investment in fuel efficient technologies that reduce emissions. (cj)
