Fleet Rarity

ANA is among the largest operators of the 787-8; model is common in service.

Record Flights

The 787 has been used on numerous long-haul routes, including repositioning Tokyo to other major intercontinental hubs. Some 787s have flown ultra-long nonstops, but -8 is more often used for standard long-haul or high-demand regional flights.
