Dressed in long-sleeve kimonos, All Nippon Airlines (ANA) staff welcomed the New Year and the airline's first Boeing 787 'Dreamliner' passengers of 2012 on Jan.1, with generous greetings and plenty of souvenirs.
The Dreamliner team first went into action to popularize ANA's new aircraft last October, with the opening of the "787 Museum" at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The team consists of ANA employees, including cabin crew, mechanics, ground handlers, and ground staff based at the airport.
The ladies will hold their last promotional event on Jan. 31, which will also mark the closing of the "787 Museum."
