The largest airline in Japan, Air Nippon Airways (ANA), has today launched an aeronautical-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs) marketplace with its subsidiary ANA Neo.<\/p>\n
The NFT marketplace is part of the airline\u2019s ongoing forays in trying to connect airlines with Web3<\/p>\n
The development of ANA Neo\u2019s GranWhale\u00a0marketplace started in August 2023 as a virtual travel platform that promised to use \u201ctechnology, including VR, to recreate the destinations and cultures of the world\u201d in the form of metaverse parks.<\/p>\n
The new NFT marketplace is dubbed \u201cANA GranWhale NFT Marketplace\u201d and it will feature an inaugural NFT collection created by aerial photographer Luke Ozawa.<\/p>\n
The platform\u2019s developers when announcing the marketplace said:<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom May 30, aerial photographer Luke Ozawa\u2019s first digital photo will be converted to NFT. One of them will be sold with a positive film, which is the source of photo development. The price is 100,000 yen, and the NFT with positive film will be sold at auction.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the inaugural collection, the second collection will be released on June 7 and will represent the NFT image conversion of the first Boeing 787 operated by ANA. About the second collection, ANA wrote:<\/p>\n
