ANA to Support Entry into Service for Boeing 787 Customers

All Nippon Airways (ANA) has agreed to provide Boeing 787 GoldCare customers with an airline’s perspective on the entry into service process.

The agreement combines Boeing’s deep airplane knowledge and extensive fleet data with ANA’s maintenance and operational experience to assist GoldCare customers who are new 787 operators with maintenance control and line maintenance oversight during entry into service.

“ANA is honored to partner with Boeing on this program and excited to support them with our proficient knowledge and expertise,” said Tatsuhiko Mitsukura, executive vice president, Engineering & Maintenance Center, ANA. 

ANA, the 787 launch customer and largest fleet operator (with 40 787s in service and 43 on order), has accumulated more flight cycles and hours than any other 787 operator.

“Boeing values ANA’s accumulated experience and expertise with 787 operations and maintenance,” said Stan Deal, senior vice president, Commercial Aviation Services, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “That expertise will complement Boeing’s OEM knowledge and portfolio of services, which is the broadest and deepest in the industry.”

Boeing has 1,095 total orders for 787s from 60 customers around the world with 305 planes delivered to date.
