NOTE TO MR. JEAN-LUC DEMARTY, DIRECTOR-GENERAL, DG TRADE 
Subject: 
Airbus signs a deal with ANA for 30 aircrafts 
Summary 
1. Today, ANA announced the purchase of 30 Airbus planes (A320neo/A321neo) and
40 Boeing as part of an order for 70 planes valued at a catalogue price of €12 billion.
Following the breakthrough contract with JAL in October 2013 (31 Airbus 350, plus
an option for a further 25 aircrafts), this contract with the 2nd largest airline in Japan,
clearly positions Airbus as an alternative supplier to Boeing, which had enjoyed until
recently a situation of quasi-monopoly in Japan.
Details 
2. ANA, the second biggest airline company in Japan after JAL announced today that it
would place firm orders for 70 new aircraft worth ¥1700 billion, roughly € 12 billion
at list price, with Boeing and Airbus. The order is the biggest in the Japan airline’s
history. The aircrafts will be delivered during the period of 2016 and 2027 and will
increase the size of the ANA fleet to 250 aircrafts.
3. ANA has decided to purchase 40 Boeing including twenty Boing 777-9X, a large
twin-aisle aircraft as a successor to its existing fleet of Boeing 777-300ERs. In
addition, ANA will place fourteen orders for the medium-sized Boeing 787-9 aircraft
and will purchase six Boeing777-300ER aircraft to support the expansion of its
international services until delivery of Boeing 777-9X.
4. The order with Airbus consists of 30 smaller single-aisle jets from the A320 family -
seven A320neo aircraft and twenty-three A321neo aircraft, which will replace
ANA’s existing B737-500 and A320ceo aircraft. Their catalogue price is estimated
at € 2,6 billion.
