Air Nippon Network [1] (or A-net) was an airline based on the grounds of Haneda Airport in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan.[2]

It operated feeder services for parent Air Nippon, itself a subsidiary of All Nippon Airways (ANA). Its main base was New Chitose Airport.[3] On October 1, 2010, Air Nippon Network, Air Next and Air Central were merged and rebranded as ANA Wings.

History

[edit]

The airline was established in May 2001 to operate Air Nippon's local feeder routes from Tokyo and Sapporo. It started operations on 1 July 2002 using three Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft. In December 2003 4 more Dash 8s joined to replace Boeing 737 aircraft operated from Osaka by Air Nippon.[citation needed]

In April 2004 Air Nippon Network was headquartered in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido.[4]

Air Nippon Network had 400 employees (at March 2007).[3]
