On May 15, All Nippon Airways (ANA) received the second Airbus A380 in its fleet, equipped with a different livery but still in the turtle pattern.
The aircraft features a different color scheme than the company's first A380, which was recently delivered. The theme is the same, but on this aircraft the company opted for a painting with an emphasis on the aqua green color.
The company will start its flights to Honolulu, Hawaii, departing from Tokyo, on May 23, starting its flights with the A380, purchased for this purpose.
ANA currently has two daily flights between Narita and Honolulu. As of May 24, one of the flights will be served by the A380 on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. So, from July 1st, the second A380 will start operating, and the A380 will be responsible for serving a daily frequency. The third A380 in the fleet will serve the second daily frequency on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
ANA's A380 is equipped with 520 seats, in a three-class configuration with the presence of Economy. In total there are 8 seats in First Class, 56 in Business and 73 in Economy, all of which are located on the upper deck, while Standard Economy is located on the lower deck of the aircraft.
In the photos we can see a comfortable Business Class standard, which offers cabins with good privacy and seats that recline 180º, despite the aircraft's proposal to operate on tourist routes from Tokyo to Hawaii.
We can see that the company opted for a contrast between fabric/leather in a dark tone and an all-white interior, improving comfort by balancing the level of light on board. It doesn't feel claustrophobic, but there isn't too much white either.
In Economy, we have a row arrangement in the 2-3-2 pattern, due to the A380's fuselage pattern, which is narrower compared to the lower deck.
In Standard Economy we have a 3-4-3 row arrangement, and sofa seating is available in some rows.
The sofa-seat is able to turn into a bed, by raising the legrests, and thus allowing two people to lie down in the space. In the image below, the sofa seat is marked in blue.
All classes are equipped with the Zodiac Rave entertainment system, which is customized for the routes between Tokyo and Honolulu, Hawaii, which the aircraft will be tasked with flying.
As comfort items, ANA will have bars on its A380, just like Emirates and LED lighting, with an almost infinite number of colors to improve the enger's perception on board.
The A380 will be serviced by a specific boarding gate, providing lounges and VIP areas for customers, as shown in the images below.
