TOKYO -- All Nippon Airways starts regular service between Tokyo and Vladivostok in March 2020, the first time a Russian city will be the final destination of its flights, Nikkei has learned.

The ANA Holdings unit is expected to offer several flights a week between the Tokyo area's Narita Airport and the Pacific port city using small aircraft with about 200 seats. The airline has flown to Moscow in the past, but those routes were stopovers on the way to Paris.
