ANATU spread its wings further with the 1992 establishment of its first subsidiary company, Air Staff Inc. (ASI). ASI's primary purpose is to hire and dispatch flight instructors to the International Flight Training Academy (IFTA) at Bakersfield, California, the ANA student pilot flight training facility. In answer to IFTA requirements, ANATU entered the aircraft leasing business when it bought and leased a fleet of Beechcraft Bonanza and Baron planes to IFTA.
ANATU's future expansion plan includes a vigorous approach to other foreign airlines to represent them in the U.S. in the areas of procurement and warranty service. A staff of more than 60 people in offices located in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Silicon Valley are dedicated to that goal.
ANATU is headquartered in Los Angeles. It occupies one floor at
970 W. 190th Street in the South Bay area of Los Angeles.
The New York branch office, located at Rockefeller Center in mid-town Manhattan, was opened in 1975. Its main responsibility is procurement and repair activities of aircraft engine parts and components on behalf of ANA with General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, two primary engine suppliers.
ANATU's Seattle branch office was established in 1977 for the primary purpose of coordinating the aircraft purchase agreements with Boeing and delivery of Boeing jets and its parts for ANA's family of companies. This office has coordinated the delivery of more than 130 Boeing aircrafts to ANA's group of companies.
ANATU had opened Silicon Valley office Machinery l Department in April 1998 as the exclusive sales agent for Enomoto Co., Ltd. with the primary business of expanding precision products business in the United States.
