Air India to Deploy New-Configuration Boeing 787-8 on Tokyo/Haneda–Mumbai Route
All Nippon Airways (ANA) will begin operating its special livery aircraft, “Pokémon Jet Green” (Boeing 787-9, registration JA923A), on September 18, as the second special project marking Pokémon’s 30th anniversary.
Based on the concept of “An exciting journey begins with Pokémon,” the aircraft features Pikachu alongside Grass-type Pokémon such as Bulbasaur, Sprigatito, Turtwig, Treecko, and Chikorita, which serve as the first adventure partners in the various Pokémon series titles. The aircraft will operate on international routes.
The inaugural flight will be NH186 from Tokyo/Haneda to Honolulu, departing at 9:55 p.m. It will subsequently be deployed on routes from Tokyo/Haneda to Honolulu, Seattle, Vancouver, Sydney, Manila, Singapore, Delhi, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur, as well as from Tokyo/Narita to Perth, Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Mumbai.
On board, headrest covers, paper cups, and cocktail napkins will also feature original designs. Passengers will receive stickers with original designs as gifts.
