All Nippon Airways

All Nippon Airways, commonly known just as ANA, is the largest airline in Japan, though it is not the flag carrier. The airline was founded with a couple of helicopters in 1952. Today it operates aircraft varying in size from the A320 all the way up to the Airbus A380. (Featured image: Hervé Goussé - Master Films via Airbus)
