ANA operates two daily Airbus A380 flights from Japan to Hawaii. These routes are reportedly among the least occupied in the airline's network. The story of how All Nippon Airways (ANA) came to acquire these A380s is intriguing.

The decision to purchase the A380s was part of a broader strategy to capture more of the lucrative leisure travel market between Japan and Hawaii. However, this plan has not fully materialized as expected, leading to low occupancy rates on these flights.

Despite these challenges, ANA continues to operate the A380s on this route, hoping that demand will eventually increase. The airline remains committed to its investment in the aircraft and believes that it can still achieve its original goals with time.
