All Nippon introduces its first Boeing 777F fitted with AeroSHARK surface coating

Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) has welcomed Its first Boeing 777 Freighter equipped with AeroSHARK surface coating technology back into its fleet. The cutting-edge surface technology is inspired by shark skin and is said to reduce drag and enhance fuel efficiency, hence reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.  

In doing so, ANA has become the first individual airline to operate both passenger and freighter variants of the Boeing 777 featuring this innovative surface technology.  

The first modified Boeing 777F (with registration JA771F) operated by ANA began scheduled cargo flights on behalf of the carrier on September 2, 2024. The airline plans to extend the AeroSHARK technology to one of its passenger Boeing 777 aircraft (registered as JA796A) by spring 2025, “further evidencing ANA’s commitment to investment in fuel-efficient technologies that reduce emissions”.
