Now one of Asia's largest airlines, ANA's history began in 1952, when Nippon Helicopter ("NH") and another regional airline were established in the Japanese private sector. They operated separately but with close ties until 1957, when All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. was born through a merging of the two.

ANA grew rapidly, developing a comprehensive route network between Japan's major cities. In 1986, ANA entered a new era with its first scheduled flight from Narita (Tokyo) to Guam after the Japanese government decided to allow increased competition in the expanding Japanese market for overseas travel. Now ranked the eighth largest IATA airline in terms of passengers carried, ANA continues to expand its international operations, today serving 22 destinations in 10 countries.

At the same time, ANA maintains strong domestic roots, and the company's service to 46 destinations in Japan with over 800 flights daily represents close to 50% of the Japanese domestic travel market, including flights operated by its sister companies.
