SPECIAL COLORS - All Nippon Airways unveils Pikachu Jet NH

All Nippon Airways has unveiled its new "Pikachu Jet NH", which is special liveried Boeing B787-9 JA894A (34517). The Dreamliner isn't only carrying special markings on the outside but is also featuring special decals on the inside like on the headrests of the seats. During the special Pikachu-flights it will also be possible for passengers to buy Pokémon items on board.
