The company was founded by ANA, Japan Air Lines and TOA Domestic as in March 1974 and started operations on 10 October 1974. The name Air Nippon was adopted in 1987, and the abbreviation ANK comes from the full, somewhat redundant name Air Nippon Kōkū (lit. Air Nippon Airline).ANA and Air Nippon used different liveries and IATA codes until April 2004, when Air Nippon adopted ANA livery and ANA flight numbers for all its flights.
