China Airlines Joins Pokémon Air Adventures; Unveils Pikachu Jet CI

(29 July 2022, 11:54 +07)  China Airlines has joined Pokémon Air Adventures and unveiled the airline's Pikachu Jet CI, a Pokémon-themed aircraft livery.

The custom livery, designed exclusively for China Airlines by The Pokémon Company, has a base color that harmonizes with China Airlines' corporate colors and the plum blossom logo on the tail-fin.

The fuselage of an A321neo will be painted with a pastel gradient with orange, pink and violet to present a starry night sky with dawn approaching.

The custom livery was designed exclusively for China Airlines by The Pokémon Company

Eleven Pokémon, including Flying Pikachu, Shaymin, Swablu, Togekiss, Munna, Jigglypuff, Snorlax, Slowpoke and Teddiursa will travel with passengers as part of the livery.

Susumu Fukunaga, Corporate Officer of The Pokémon Company, said, "The COVID19 pandemic has dealt a devastating blow to the tourism and transportation industry. With the pandemic now slowing down, The Pokémon Company is launching “Pokémon Air Adventures” to reignite everyone’s passion for travel."

China Airlines is planning a series of charity events in the second half of the year to send a message of gratitude and support to all the health workers, airport police and pandemic prevention taxi drivers on the front-lines for their dedication and hard work during the COVID19 pandemic.

China Airlines President Kao Shing-Hwang said, "The mission of Pokémon Air Adventures matches the ESG sustainability philosophy of China Airlines. The first-ever collaboration between the two companies has been two years in the making and the launch of an aircraft with Pokémon-themed livery to inject extra fun into the journey. One of China Airlines’ new A321neo passenger aircraft has been chosen for the job and its new livery should be finished and ready to meet all Pokémon fans by autumn of this year. The Pikachu Jet CI will hopefully help spur the revival of post-COVID tourism and encourage everyone to look forward to their next holiday."
