All Nippon Airways (ANA) has placed orders for Airbus and Boeing aircraft to bolster the airline’s growing fleet.

ANA will purchase three Boeing 787-10 aircraft and five 737-800s. The agreement, when finalized, will be valued at approximately $1.4 billion at current list prices, and ANA will become the first airline in Asia to operate the entire family of 787 "Dreamliners".

ANA, the launch customer of the 787, has taken more 787 deliveries than any other customer at 34 aircraft, with 46 still on order.

ANA has also ordered seven more Airbus A321 aircraft, comprising four A321ceos and three A321neos, in addition to the firm order for 30 A320neo family (seven A320neo and 23 A321neo) aircraft placed in July 2014.

The latest agreement brings ANA’s total order for the A320 family to 37 aircraft, which will gradually replace its existing single-aisle fleet. ANA will be the first Japanese operator of both Sharklet-equipped A321ceo and A321neo.
