Every ANA 787 and 767-300ER has a small Air Japan decal on each side. AJX crews have never operated to Europe.

Not sure where that rumour came from Fratemate. ANA have had an upgrade programme on the 787 for many years, just like any other fleet. They also have 2 upgraded female captains on the 787 now.
