All Nippon Airways has announced that next year it will use the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on routes from Tokyo to Seattle and San Jose, California. The fuel-efficient 787 is ideal for such routes, which don’t have enough traffic to justify larger planes. ANA will be the only airline to fly nonstop from Narita to San Jose.
Next month ANA also plans to launch a much shorter Tokyo-Beijing service with the 787.
