TOKYO\u2014<\/strong> All Nippon Airways (NH)<\/a> has confirmed it will retire its remaining Boeing 777-300 aircraft as part of a broader fleet renewal strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move marks the end of an era for the high-capacity domestic jets, which have served key routes across Japan for over two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final three Boeing 777-300s will exit the fleet by March 31, 2027, aligning with the airline\u2019s fiscal year-end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transition reflects a wider shift toward newer, more efficient aircraft, particularly the Boeing 787 family, which forms the backbone of the carrier\u2019s long-term fleet plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Nippon Airways 777 Retirement Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All Nippon Airways will phase out its last three Boeing 777-300 aircraft<\/a>, which currently operate on high-density domestic routes. These jets feature a two-class layout with 514 seats, making them among the largest aircraft used in Japan\u2019s domestic market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft were delivered between 1998 and 1999, and they have played a critical role in handling peak passenger demand on trunk routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their retirement signals a shift away from older widebody aircraft toward more fuel-efficient alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exit will also include one Boeing 737-800 and three De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 turboprops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This phased retirement approach allows the airline to gradually modernize its fleet while maintaining operational stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANA’s Fleet Modernisation Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ANA is focusing on a fleet centered around the Boeing 787<\/a>, which includes the -8, -9, and -10 variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These aircraft offer improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and greater flexibility across both domestic and international routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline plans to introduce five Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft during the fiscal year, with initial deployment on domestic services. This transition will begin as its first Boeing 737-800 starts exiting the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, ANA will take delivery of five new Boeing 787 aircraft, including four 787-9s and one 787-10. These additions will strengthen capacity while supporting the airline\u2019s sustainability and cost-efficiency goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth And Performance of ANA Holdings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ANA Holdings, the parent company of All Nippon Airways, reported strong financial results, reflecting a recovery in travel demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group posted a record operating profit of Y217 billion, equivalent to approximately $1.38 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating revenue rose by 13% to reach Y2.5 trillion, driven by robust passenger traffic and improved network performance. The company has also expanded its cargo capabilities through the acquisition of Nippon Cargo Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline group continues to invest in fleet renewal across its subsidiaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low-cost carrier Peach Aviation will receive new Airbus A320neo aircraft, while regional arm ANA Wings is set to add mid-life Dash 8-400 turboprops, Flight Global<\/a> flagged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
