The two wide-bodies have had a special material, developed by Nikon Corporation, applied to their fuselage that has a “shark skin effect”, the airline said. ANA will study the impact of the Nikon Corporation material on air resistance and emissions reductions. “Our goal is to create a more sustainable society, helping our local communities and enhancing corporate value. We have dedicated this aircraft to promoting these efforts,” ANA CEO, Shinichi Inoue, said. In addition to the livery, the aircraft’s inflight cabin service has a sustainability theme with vegan leather headrest covers, environmentally friendly materials for inflight service and cabin crew aprons featuring the green leaf and water motifs.
