Koji Shibata, President and CEO of ANA Holdings, highlighted the strategic importance of this expansion, stating, "This additional E190-E2 order accelerates our efforts to build a sustainable regional aviation network in Japan." He emphasised the aircraft's role in reducing environmental impact and operating costs, whilst enhancing passenger experience.
