All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (ANA) was presented with the Design Innovation Award 2021 for the hands-free lavatory doors installed on the passenger aircraft it operates.

Now in its ninth year, TheDesignAir’s  annual Design Awards celebrate the very best in airline passenger experiences, brands and designs across the globe. 

ANA was the first recipient of the Design Innovation Award, new for this year, which recognizes an airline’s response to COVID-19 through design. We would like to congratulate ANA on winning this award.

The award-winning hands-free lavatory door is the world’s first practical application of such a design. It was rapidly co-developed by ANA and JAMCO Corporation, whose top priority was the health and safety of passengers.

The JAMCO Group remains committed to making air travel even more comfortable by supplying high-quality aircraft interior products that combine safety, style, ease-of-use and leading-edge design while incorporating features requested by airlines.
