(Tokyo-Japan) All Nippon Airways, ANA, will introduce women-only lavatories on its international routes starting next week.
In a statement released by the airline, the gender based lavatories were not a result of "any specific complaints. It was just more a matter of general preference," according to ANA spokesman Justin C. Massey.
One women-only lavatory will be in the rear section of the passenger cabin. It will have a pink version of the universal sign for ladies' room to let male travelers know to look for another option.
ANA said there will be certain exceptions, if there are a fewer female flyers, for safety reasons or if there is a rush to join the mile high club.
