All Nippon Airways Co. said Monday it will introduce direct flights to Vancouver, British Columbia, and Hanoi from Japan for the first time after the Japanese government allotted the airline 11 new international departure and arrival slots starting in March.

The daily round-trip flights from Tokyo's Haneda airport to Vancouver and Hanoi will begin March 30, along with other daily flights connecting Haneda with such cities as London, Paris and Jakarta, the airline said.

ANA said it is also making arrangements to start services connecting Haneda with China and Germany.
