All Nippon Airways opens wings to future launching ANA GranWhale NFT Marketplace

Japan's largest airline, All Nippon Airways (ANA), is stepping into the exciting world of NFTs! ANA has excitedly announced the launch of ANA GranWhale NFT Marketplace, a space dedicated to the sale of its own NFT products. This move marks ANA's first foray into the fascinating universe of NFTs.

In a statement released on May 30, the ANA Group revealed that its subsidiary, ANA NEO, will be in charge of launching this revolutionary marketplace. The first NFTs to be offered in the market will be digital images by renowned aviation photographer, Luke Ozawa. These unique images have been up for auction since Tuesday, and although they have only received two bids so far, the current price stands at 160,000 yen ($1,151.47).

But that's not all, starting June 7, the marketplace will offer an even more exciting selection of NFT products: 3D images of two aircraft, including the iconic Boeing 787 with a special paint design, as well as the original concept design for this aircraft. Aviation enthusiasts and digital collectors will be able to purchase these unique and fascinating NFTs through the website, using credit cards or cryptocurrencies through Metamask.

The marketplace is not only a place for ANA to sell its own NFTs, but also a space for artists and creators to register as businesses and showcase their work. The platform is presented as an open window to creativity, where the fusion between the digital and physical worlds creates truly unique and memorable experiences.

Mitsuo Tomita, President of ANA NEO, shared his enthusiasm regarding this innovative initiative: "As one of the first airlines to launch an NFT marketplace, we are excited to lead the way in this new way of connecting with our customers and enhancing their experience. Through this initiative, we aim to harness the potential of NFTs in the aviation industry, merging the digital and physical realms to create amazing experiences that bring the world together."

This is not the first time ANA has ventured into the digital realm. Last year, ANA NEO partnered with Hokkaido to create a travel metaverse called ANA GranWhale, which showcased the nature, cuisine and culture of the Hokkaido region.

ANA thus joins a growing list of airlines that have explored the potential of NFTs and metaverses in the aviation industry. From Emirates to Etihad, Qatar Airways and more, airlines are embracing this new trend with enthusiasm. In April, Argentine low-cost carrier FlyBondi began issuing NFT tickets on the Algorand blockchain, while Airebaltico launched its NFT loyalty program last year, and AirEuropa made the world's first NFT flight.

With ANA leading the way in Japan, it's clear that the digital future is taking off to new heights. Get ready to explore a world of digital opportunities as ANA invites you to join its exciting journey into the fascinating NFT universe. Spread your wings and dive into a unique and innovative experience with ANA GranWhale NFT Marketplace!
