TOKYO, May 30, 2023 – ANA Group will launch a Non-Fungible Token business on May 30, 2023 through one of its subsidiaries ANA NEO, utilizing blockchain technology to sell NFT content products.

The first of ANA's products will be NFTs of aviation photographer Luke Ozawa's first NFT, digital photograph works. The second product to be sold from June 7, will be NFTs of two digital 3D airplanes including the specially painted Boeing 787, which ANA introduced as the global launch customer in 2011, as well as the initially proposed design for the inaugural aircraft. ANA Group plans to increase the lineup of NFT products in the future.

ANA Group will further enhance the value of the customer experience through the "ANA GranWhale NFT MarketPlace," engaging in the commercialization of NFT content of unique products from various regions in Japan.
