TOKYO January 26, 2007 - Air Transport World (ATW), the global aviation industry's leading monthly magazine, today voted ANA 'Airline of the Year' for 2007.

Washington DC-based ATW bestowed its first awards for excellence in 1974; over thirty years later, they are regarded as the benchmark of quality and achievement for companies and individuals within the airline industry. Winners are chosen by a panel of judges composed of ATW editors from all over the world, after exhaustive debate, with nominations submitted from outside the magazine and the editorial team itself.

The most coveted 'Airline of the Year' title is given in recognition of outstanding overall performance. ATW Editor-in-Chief, Perry Flint, commends ANA for "transforming itself into a dynamic and profitable airline, despite the devastating impact of SARS and the Iraq War" and other challenges faced in recent years, such as fierce competition in ANA's home market of Japan and soaring fuel costs.

ATW goes on to highlight ANA's continued growth in profitability, its innovative products and facilities which harness the latest technologies, and its "groundbreaking launch order for what since has become the world's best-selling new airliner, the 787." Mr Flint said, "The editors also were impressed with ANA's superb passenger product, typified by its New Style Club ANA business class cabin and the Narita Airport Terminal 1 South Wing that opened last year."

"We are truly honored to receive this award," ANA President and CEO, Mineo Yamamoto responded. "It commends the dedication of every member of the ANA Group - past and present - for whom I speak when I thank all of our customers and partners for their support and belief in ANA, as it is they who helped shape us into the airline we are today. We are proud, and humbled, to stand alongside the past recipients of this prestigious accolade," he continued.

Mr. Yamamoto will attend a gala dinner in Washington DC on February 21, where he will be presented with the 'Airline of the Year' award on behalf of ANA.
