Famous for having a fleet with the most varied special liveries, All Nippon Airways (ANA) announced that it will soon retire its Boeing 777–300 with the iconic livery inspired by the Star Wars robot BB-8.
With the last flight scheduled to take place on March 31, ANA is offering flights between Tokyo (Haneda) to Okinawa (Nawa) and Sapporo (Chitose) airports.
In addition, the last flights do not allow the entry of foreigners coming from outside Japan due to the Covid-19 restrictions, frustrating some of the fans who want to have one last opportunity to fly on the JA789A.
As reported by the portal Simple flying, ANA is carrying out operational adjustments as a result of the coronavirus crisis, and as a result, the company will have to remove around 35 aircraft from its fleet.
With only two aircraft in its fleet with the Star Wars livery, fans of the franchise will still have the opportunity to fly the 787 Dreamliner with the R2-D2 droid livery, and the C-777PO Boeing 200–3.
Special paintings: an important showcase for promoting brands
Including the planes with Star Wars livery, ANA is also famous for having in its fleet emblematic planes with the Pokémon Saga livery, a partnership that has lasted for more than two decades and has become an important showcase for the dissemination of its aircraft. around the world.
In Brazil, LATAM and Azul follow the same path as ANA and have customized aircraft for both Star Wars and Disney.
LATAM Brasil, for example, has a Boeing 777-300ER decorated by a Stormtrooper (we will explain the painting shortly).
As for Azul, it currently has 3 aircraft from Disney's magical fleet, where each aircraft has its fuselage inspired by a character. So far, Azul has the aircraft of the Mickey, Minnie and Donald Duck.
