LinkedIn Connections Mapped with All Nippon Airways’ Flight Connections

All Nippon Airways, Japan’s largest airline, has launched Flight Connections, a platform that aims to help modern business travelers turn their online connections into physical meetings. Using data from users’ LinkedIn network, the digital experience generates a visual representation of their global network contacts and overlays ANA routes to show users how they can easily connect with their business relationships in Asia. Users also have the opportunity to win one of five round-trip business class tickets to any ANA destination in Asia. To show the experience in action, ANA has partnered with global business leader Nancy Lublin, Founder of DoSomething.org and creator of Dress for Success. She will share her journey to Asia via ANA Business Class to meet with her own business contact and document her experience on LinkedIn.

"ANA is the airline of choice for the Japanese business community thanks to our global network, exceptional inflight service and world-class amenities,” said Yuji Hirako, Senior Vice President, The Americas. “As the number of business travelers and tourists coming to Japan from the US continues to grow, we wanted to create an innovative way to visually map the connections.our passengers have and show them how convenient it is to visit on an ANA flight. Our hope is that Flight Connections will
spur the business community on both sides of the Pacific to visit each other more often and forge an even stronger bond for the benefit of both."
