Before boarding, ANA Manila Station Manager Takeshi Saito addressed the crowd, expressing gratitude to customers for choosing ANA to fly to Japan and beyond. As the anniversary flight departed, ANA staff gathered at the gate and ramp to wave to passengers and wish them a safe journey.

ANA operates 28 weekly flights between Manila and Tokyo, serving both Narita and Haneda airports. In recent years, the airline has expanded its offerings with domestic connections from Tokyo, allowing Filipino travelers to explore multiple cities in Japan for the same fare, making travel across the ANA network seamless and convenient.

To celebrate this milestone, ANA launched its “Hello Blue Sale”, offering Economy Class roundtrip fares starting at $200 and Business Class fares from $850. The limited-time promotion is available until March 5, 2026. More details can be found on the ANA website.

Takeru Matthew Okamoto, General Manager of ANA Manila, said, “This is just the beginning of many exciting promotions from ANA in 2026. We are thrilled to see Filipino travelers exploring destinations in Japan beyond the usual gateways. We hope that whenever Filipinos think of Japan, they think of ANA.”
