Going back to April 1989, ANA began joint service with Scandinavian Airlines on the Tokyo-Stockholm route. Scandinavian Airlines continues to operate the Narita-Stockholm route, but this is the first direct scheduled flight to Stockholm by a Japanese airline. The flight was originally scheduled to begin in June 2020, but after the Corona disaster, it took four and a half years.

ANA has launched flights to Milan (December 3, 2024), Stockholm (today), and Istanbul (February 12, 2025), which were scheduled before Corona, one after another this fiscal year, and other European routes have been restored with the Paris and Munich routes becoming daily on July 1, 2024, and the Vienna route resuming on August 1, 2024. The recovery and expansion of the network is remarkable.
