All Nippon Airways’ Fascination with a Creature Feared as Pikachu

ANA Pokeman

Pikachu is a yellow, mouse-like creature with electrical abilities, and the Japanese Star Alliance Airline ANA loves it – and it shows.

All Nippon Airways (ANA) and the Pokémon Company are expanding their collaboration with “Pokémon Air Adventures” by launching a second uniquely painted aircraft, the “Eevee Jet NH.*” The aircraft will enter service on August 31, 2023, featuring a range of specialty products and services, including merchandise and in-flight entertainment.

  • * NH is the airline code defined by the International Air Transport Association ANA.

ANA Group and The Pokémon Company previously collaborated on the first Pikachu Jet NH*, which took its first flight on June 4, 2023.

Eevee has the potential to evolve into various forms. Eevee and its Evolutions, such as Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, are depicted decisively moving forward into the future together with Pikachu. With an air of hope, they take off on a journey into the skies together with people flying to new places.

This design approach underscores ANA’s commitment to inspiring its employees, customers, and society to explore endless possibilities with diverse connections that begin in the sky.

The “Eevee Jet NH” showcases ANA’s specially painted aircraft cabin design. The aircraft interior, similar to the “Pikachu Jet NH”, features limited edition designs on cabin attendants’ aprons, paper cups, napkins, and headrest covers*. Passengers will be greeted with boarding music that brings the world of Pokémon to life and will receive a commemorative boarding certificate with the original “Eevee Jet NH” design.
