Revision as of 08:02, 1 August 2013

Since the late 1990s, All Nippon Airways has had five different Boeing 747 jets with Pokémon paint schemes.[1] The majority of Pokémon featured on each plane seem to be from the generation that was the newest at the time of its introduction. Progressively more Pokémon aircraft have been added throughout the years. There are currently ten, the newest added in 2011 - a Boeing 777 titled the "Peace Jet", and the first to feature Generation V Pokémon, such as Reshiram.

ANA Pokémon Jet 1998

During the winter of 1992, ANA held a contest to design one of its jets. The winner was a sixth-grade girl named Yuki Ogaki, who submitted a whale-themed design later titled the Marine Jumbo. Due to the public admiration of an uncommon paint job, ANA painted another Boeing 747-400D with a Snoopy design in 1996. Then, in 1998, this plane had another layer of paint added. This time, it was a Pokémon design. This design was also popular, and led to ANA creating several more planes with Pokémon designs. This plane's Aircraft registration number is JA8965.

Two additional jets - both Boeing 767-300s - were later painted in the same design. Their registration numbers were JA8569 and JA8578.

This set of livery was canceled in 2001 and all three aircrafts are remain in service.

This newest member of the Pokémon jets was added in 2011, when a Boeing 777 was re-painted in Pokémon colors. ANA had originally allowed children to vote on the livery of the jet, but the tragic 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami stopped this. Instead, it was painted in colors meant to show a world filled with peace, and was dubbed the Peace Jet. This aircraft's registration is JA754A. It is the first to feature Generation V Pokémon.
