ANA to Introduce New Amenity Kits on International Flights for First and Business Class

TOKYO, Dec. 21, 2023 – All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan’s largest 5-Star airline for 11 consecutive years, will introduce new amenity pouches in its First and Business Class cabins on international flights, starting early January 2024. The pouches are made in collaboration with ETTINGER, which was established in 1934 and was granted a royal warrant by the prince of Wales of the United Kingdom. The ETTINGER pouch, crafted from natural cotton canvas and recycled materials, exemplifies ANA’s commitment to sustainability and will be the first airline in the world to offer the ETTINGER amenity pouch.
In First Class, ANA will offer ” SENSAI ” cosmetics, a cosmetic product that made from materials grown on a recycling-oriented farm that does not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers for some of its ingredients. For Business Class passengers, ANA will offer “AVEDA” amenities, which are never tested on animals and adhere to environmentally conscious policy management, including materials derived from natural resources. In addition, both classes’ amenity pouches will include an ANA original reusable bag made from recycled materials.

“ANA’s collaboration with ETTINGER symbolizes our commitment to sustainability and provides customers with luxurious products that enhances their travel experience,” said Tomoji Ishii, executive vice president, customer experience management and planning of ANA. “These amenity pouches are not just travel companies; they represent ANA’s dedication to our ANA Future Promise goals of removing plastic.”

ANA Group has established medium-term environmental targets for FY2030 for ESG management and is pursuing reduce/reuse/recycle initiatives. As part of its global sustainability efforts, ANA continues to adopt environmentally-friendly practices, such as transitioning to paper containers and straws, introducing wooden cutlery and muddlers to replace plastic products. This commitment has resulted in a significant reduction of approximately 40 percent (or 475 tons per year) in disposable plastic use on board. In support of its sustainability commitments, ANA is discontinuing its use of plastic in the amenity kit packaging. ANA will be introducing paper bands, starting with the ETTINGER amenity pouches. This strategic shift is expected to reduce disposable plastic usage by approximately 1.7 tons per year.

As part of the ANA Future Promise, ANA will continue to provide services that satisfy customers and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals through the creation of environmentally friendly services and products.
