TOKYO, JAPAN, 2020-Dec-08 — /Travel PR News/ — All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan’s largest and 5-Star airline for eight consecutive years was presented with FlightGlobal’s prestigious Decade of Airline Excellence Award for the Asia-Pacific region.

Through the next decade, ANA will continue working to raise its standards and overcome any new challenges to improve the travel experience for all passengers.
