ANA Star Wars R2-D2 Dreamliner Livery Unveiled

All Nippon Airways will introduce a Star Wars livery with the iconic R2-D2 on its newest Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. ANA has embarked on a five-year ANA Star Wars project and agreement with the Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd.

This is the first time a Star Wars character will appear on the livery of a commercial aircraft. This was unveiled to Star Wars fans today at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California.

“ANA boasts an extensive international network, along with convenient connections between the U.S. and a wide variety of destinations throughout Asia,” said Takashi Shiki, ANA Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing. “Although it’s a lofty goal, we hope that like Star Wars, ANA will become well known and loved across all borders and generations. The R2-D2 motif works well with ANA’s blue logo design on the aircraft’s fuselage, and many people associate R2-D2 with competent and reliable service—also hallmarks of ANA’s 5-star service. We are particularly delighted to introduce this collaboration now as we prepare to launch our new international service from Tokyo to Houston in June, making it our 10^th North American destination. Through the introduction of the new Star Wars livery we hope to welcome more passengers from around the world to experience ANA as the Inspiration of Japan.”

ANA has also launched a website featuring the Star Wars collaboration at www.ana-sw.com
