All Nippon Airways (ANA) is preparing to receive its first Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in December, following several years of delays stemming from the global grounding of the MAX fleet. To ensure quality and contractual compliance, ANA personnel have been conducting on-site inspections at Boeing’s Renton plant in Washington.

The airline has formalized orders for 20 aircraft with options for four more, though other reports indicate a total order of up to 42 aircraft, with 38 confirmed. These new planes are intended to succeed the 737-800 in ANA’s domestic fleet and will feature universal-specification lavatories designed for wheelchair users. While initial delivery expectations had shifted from June to September and then to October, the first delivery is now expected in December or later due to Boeing delivery setbacks.
