What happened
ANA X (in partnership with Vision Inc.) commercially launched “ANA Global eSIM” on 10 November 2026, a paid travel eSIM service covering 180+ countries that allows customers to purchase and activate paid eSIM plans from the announcement date. Vision’s World eSIM platform is cited as the operational connectivity provider.
Why it matters
A major airline loyalty/brand entering commercially available global eSIMs — with mileage incentives — demonstrates how travel brands and loyalty programmes are becoming direct distribution channels for connectivity, increasing pressure on specialist travel‑eSIM vendors and accelerating embedded-connectivity adoption.
