To equip its (6) 777-300ER (Extended Range) that will enter into service from September 2004, ANA, one of the launching airlines of this new Boeing program, is the first to officially announce the choice of its wheels and brakes supplier: Messier-Bugatti.

Technical and economical performances of the SepCarb®III OR carbon brake were decisive. ANA uses this latest version of the Messier-Bugatti carbon on its A320.
ANA Group with headquarters in Tokyo is moreover leader on its domestic market serving (128) domestic routes with (787) daily flights in (45) cities. It also captures some (30) international routes with (414) weekly flights in 21 cities. This new choice by ANA is strengthening its position as a major customer of Messier-Bugatti.

A long lasting faithful relationship has been established since January 15, 1991, when the first A320 equipped by Messier-Bugatti entered into service. Today, ANA operates (26) A320 (will add two more in July and August 2003) and (51) 767-300 equipped with Messier-Bugatti wheels and brakes.

Successive selections by ANA of Messier-Bugatti equipment prove the technological leadership of the Messier-Bugatti carbon latest version, the SepCarb®III OR and of its antioxidant the Anoxy 123 as well as Messier-Bugatti’s world class business practice in pricing, product support, quality and delivery.
