All Nippon Airways (ANA) has resumed service with Boeing 787 Dreamliners today.
The first flight was a domestic flight to Tokyo International Airport at Haneda from Chitose Airport near Sapporo in Hokkaido.
This marks the end of four months of grounding of the aircraft for the airline due to lithium ion battery problems of the Dreamliner. The time was needed to determine the cause of the problems and fix them. During the time of the grounding, ANA was named 2013 "Airline of the Year" by Air Transport World (ATW), the leading monthly magazine covering the global airline industry.
Back in January, I tried out ANA's economy and business class seating at their display at the Los Angeles Travel & Adventure Show in Long Beach (below).
