JA58AN B737-881 ANA  [+] 2024-

Osaka is hosting the Expo 2025, 55 years having hosted Expo 1970, which also saw ANA add small stickers fleetwide. The design mixes the red, blue & gray colors of the Expo with those of ANA. Note that this airframe was originally painted in a green flower-themed scheme before just before getting this livery. It is not clear why.

The ANA Group established the slogan "ANA Future Promise" in June 2021 in order to promote the ESG (Environment, Society, Corporate Governance) management of its medium-term management strategy. The 789 had Nikon's "Riblet Film" (a sort of shark skin film) applied on top of the paint for testing purposes. The two sides are different. The -9 serves international routes while the -8 will sly domestic sectors. An ANA Wings Dash 8 appeared in the same scheme in late 2023.

Initiatives
JA85AN B737-881 ANA  [+] 2016-21

This livery was suggested by ANA employees of Fukushima Airport five years after the 2011 Sendai earthquake, in an effort to support the local communities and promote tourism to the area. The Tōhoku region is home to many attractive flowers species and these were chosen with the help of local photographer Katsuhiro Noguchi. The initiative also included a specific cabin decoration and associated inflight products.
