ANA will start flying between Tokyo Haneda and Stockholm Arlanda on January 31, 2025, the airline announced today, July 19, 2024. The airline will do so two months after launching flights to Milan and a couple of weeks before adding Istanbul to its network.
The Tokyo Haneda – Stockholm Arlanda route will operate three times a week as follows:
- NH221 Tokyo Haneda – Stockholm Arlanda / 12:30AM – 6:20AM / Tue, Fri, Sun
- NH222 / Stockholm Arlanda – Tokyo Haneda / 9:35AM – 7:20AM+1 / Tue, Fri, Sun
The airline will use Boeing 787-8 aircraft with 184 seats, the smallest long-haul aircraft in its fleet, on the route. With that, it will offer 32 business class, 14 premium economy, and 138 economy class seats on each flight.
ANA will be the only airline offering direct flights between Tokyo and Stockholm. Scandinavian Airlines serves Tokyo Haneda four times per week but it does so from Copenhagen.
While Scandinavian Airlines will soon switch from Star Alliance, the alliance that ANA also belongs to, to SkyTeam, ANA is working on a bilateral partnership with the airline so that it can offer connections on Scandinavian Airlines beyond Stockholm like it originally planned to do when it first announced the route before its plans were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Stockholm will be ANA’s eight destination in Europe following the already operational London, Frankfurt, Munich, Brussels, and Paris; and Vienna and Milan, which will launch later this year.
