TOKYO (AP) — ANA is ordering 70 aircraft with a list price of 1.7 trillion yen ($17 billion) from Boeing Co. and Airbus, in the largest order in the Japanese carrier's history.

Thursday's orders underline ANA's ambition to become one of the world's leading airlines as well as Japan's tourism drive leading up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The country is aiming to boost overseas visitors to 20 million a year.

Boeing is the major beneficiary of the deal, but Airbus said the latest orders show it is making inroads in an important market. The Japanese government and manufacturers have historically had a close relationship with Boeing, and Europe's Airbus did not score a major order with ANA rival Japan Airlines until last year.

The jets, being delivered over 11 years from 2016, will increase the ANA fleet to 250 aircraft.

A unified pilot group is probably the greatest gift we can give ourselves at this point.
PLUS ONE, hopefully plus twelve thousand other great pilots.

Absolutely the best merger possible considering how it has shaken out for our peers at other airlines. To a man, every North guy I have flown with has been fantastic.

Two great pilot groups, now one team with a lot of potential. If we can wake up before the clock runs out, we could get a great contract next year.

So somehow "guppy" just does not do justice to a three legged pig that is mostly nocturnal. What's the latest name for our new in flight entertainment system on wings?

Does that mean we'll be able to follow the rest of the industry and move to iPads?

It's not too late to switch to the 'Pro'. I hope they reconsider the RT device.

For the first two months of 2014, Dubai International Airport has seen more passengers come and go than any other airport in the world — a claim formerly held by London Heathrow. Lead by aggressive expansion of Emirates and FlyDubai airlines, Dubai handled 1.8 million more passengers during the period over Heathrow.

It should be noted that London isn't the most pleasant place to visit during the winter months, but Dubai's passenger numbers represent a 13.5 percent increase over last year. This is on top of a 15.2 percent growth from 2012 to 2013. Sustained growth throughout the year would certainly give Dubai the full-year title for the first time.
