All Nippon Airways

All Nippon Airways uses VR technology developed by Japanese company, NEC.

ANA has a history of technological innovation, and the use of VR to replicate a range of emergency scenarios will prepare flight attendants to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a crisis. The entire VR program is part of a collaboration with NEC to provide an immersive and dynamic training environment that encourages flight attendants to think quickly and creatively.

“VR opens the doors to emergency training scenarios that we were previously unable to address in an interactive manner due to safety concerns,’” said Hitomi Yamamoto, executive vice president of ANA. “Instead of learning how to address these situations from a textbook in the classroom, flight attendants will be able to combat dangers in real time through accurate VR recreations.”
