All Nippon Airways Co., Japan’s biggest domestic carrier, reiterated it is considering an order for Airbus SAS’s A380 superjumbo for use on flights to North America and Europe.

The carrier has formed a group to study the purchase of large, wide-body planes, including Boeing Co.’s 747-8, airline spokesman Fumiyoshi Fukumori said today.

All Nippon, also known as ANA, is expanding its fleet and replacing older aircraft with more fuel-efficient planes. President Mineo Yamamoto said in March he may order A380s and break a tradition of purchasing large Boeing planes.

ANA may order five A380s costing about 100 billion yen ($937.3 million) and will make a decision around September, Nikkei English News reported earlier, without saying where it got the information.

Spokesman Fukumori said a decision has not been made on an order.

Shares of All Nippon fell 0.3 percent to 393 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of 9:31 a.m.
