FPT and ANA Systems Forge Strategic Partnership to Advance Digital Innovation in Aviation

Global IT services provider FPT has entered into a comprehensive strategic alliance with ANA Systems, the IT division of ANA Group — the largest airline group holding company in Japan, to drive innovation and strengthen operational stability within the aviation industry. 

Under this partnership, the two companies will establish a joint operational framework to drive the continuous improvement and stability of the IT infrastructure within the ANA Group. The operational framework will serve as a foundation for more efficient management and delivery of IT services across the ANA Group and its affiliates, including All Nippon Airways — Japan's largest and 5-Star airline for 12 consecutive years.

By leveraging the close cultural and economic ties between Japan and Vietnam, FPT and ANA Systems will promote cross-border talent exchange and cultivate digital career pathways through collaborative training and career development initiatives. This initiative reflects both companies' long-standing commitment to nurturing the next generation of global technology talent.
