Experience Your Artwork in the Sky

A New Kind of Family Adventure
ANA X Corporation, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, announces an exciting family-oriented travel product titled "Your Art Flies! Unique Container Art & Ground Handling Tour." This unique offering, starting on September 8, 2026, at 14:00, was inspired by ideas from employees at ANA Airport Services and is designed to provide unforgettable experiences for families.

The tour gives participants a chance to visit restricted areas of Haneda Airport, a privilege usually reserved for airport staff. As part of the experience, attendees will have an opportunity to paint on retired cargo containers and see their own artwork transformed into stickers that will be placed on these containers to travel across Japan for two months.

Key Features of the Tour

1. Creating Lasting Memories with Children
Developed from the passion of active employees wishing to provide special experiences for children, this tour not only helps create wonderful memories but also allows children to witness the dynamic environment of the aviation industry. This opportunity could inspire children to explore various career paths related to aviation in the future.

2. Painting on Cargo Containers
Participants will engage in a creative activity painting on decommissioned cargo containers, allowing them to express themselves artistically. Their pre-submitted artwork will be made into stickers that can be attached to the containers, which are then utilized for real aviation transport. These completed containers will fly across the skies of Japan for about two months, creating a conversation starter for families about where their artwork might be flying.

3. Experiencing Ground Handling at Haneda Airport
Typically off-limits to the public, the restricted area of Haneda Airport offers a glimpse into the bustling world of aviation ground handling. Experienced employees will introduce participants to various aspects of their roles, showcasing aircraft and specialized airport vehicles. The tour concludes with all participants waving goodbye to departing flights, creating a memorable send-off experience known as the "Goodbye Wave."
