All Nippon Airways regularly does maintenance checks to their planes to ensure not only the safety of all their passengers, but also guarantee smooth flights and touchdowns that guarantee passenger satisfaction. This is done inside their own hangar located in Tokyo.
This consistent upkeep of their aircrafts helps engineers of ANA to correctly identify technical problems, which are then corrected before an aircraft is allowed for voyage. This preventive measure is always done despite the fact that ANA’s Boeing 787 planes are one of the most technologically advanced aircrafts in use today.
