May 21, 2024 (newstodate): The Japanese carrier All Nippon Airlines, ANA, is now recruiting staff ahead of its planned start of operations connecting Tokyo and Stockholm with three weekly rotations.
   The carrier has called for applications for a cargo-related position to supervise cargo operations and communicate with the operations headquarters, the passenger section, maintenance section, cargo section and the ground handling company.
   The final date for launch of services has however not been confirmed; earlier plans called for the first flight on June 6, 2024, but now the company cites an opening by the coming winter schedule 2024/25.
   Already in November 2019, the Japanese carrier ANA, member of the Star Alliance, announced its decision to launch direct non-stop services beginning summer 2020 between Tokyo Haneda Airport and Stockholm Airport, ending 30 years of absence of direct flights, long sought-after, between Sweden and Japan.
   The airline was to perform its first flight on the route on June 6, 2020, with three weekly rotations from June 21, 2020, increasing to daily operations from July 20, with Boeing 787-8 aircraft  - but then came the coronavirus.
