All Nippon Airways Co. is turning to Taiwanese cabin attendants to promote its services as visitor numbers from the island nation rebound following last year's natural and nuclear calamities.
ANA said its flights from Tokyo to Taipei will have one Taiwanese attendant from Sunday. The airline provides services between Narita International Airport and Taoyuan airport, about 40 km from Taiwan's capital, and from Tokyo's Haneda airport to Taipei Songshan Airport.
To this end, ANA will promote eight Taiwanese translators currently working on these routes to cabin attendants, and plans to recruit more in Taiwan to lure passengers.
