Stunning exterior view of the newly unveiled ANA Pokémon Jet “Red.”

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pokémon and the 40th anniversary of ANA’s international routes, All Nippon Airways has launched a special project introducing three themed Pokémon Jets: “Red,” “Green,” and “Blue.” Debuting first is the “Red” aircraft, featuring a lineup of ten Fire-type Pokémon. While “Red” and “Blue” will primarily operate on domestic Japanese routes, the “Blue” jet will soar across ANA’s international network. Registered as JA819A, this striking red aircraft was painted and prepped by MRO Japan in Okinawa.

Cabin Interior & In-Flight Amenities

Because the interior configuration of the first “Red” jet is tailored for domestic Japanese routes, international configurations will differ. When planning your trip, be sure to check whether your flight is domestic or international. Jesse has also put together a complete cabin configuration review, which you can check out in our 787-8 domestic cabin walkthrough photo guide (coming soon).

Behind-the-Scenes Press Trip Highlights

For this livery unveiling, Jesse was proud to be the sole media representative from Taiwan. It was my first time attending a press conference hosted by a Japanese carrier, and the biggest difference was having ample time—roughly 2.5 hours—to meticulously photograph all the fine details. The scale and professionalism of the Japanese news media were also striking compared to what we typically see in Taiwan, including a crew of three equipped with professional multi-mic audio gear. I also had the opportunity to step inside ANA’s maintenance hangar once again. Securing a spot on their Blue Hanger Tour is notoriously difficult; I checked for two straight weeks without finding a single opening (peaking right during the busy summer family vacation season). Luckily, I managed to book another hugely popular option instead: the ANA Blue Base Tour, which explores their state-of-the-art training center.
