ANA's Chiikawa Jet Begins Domestic Flights With Character Livery And Cabin Touches
A licensed character liveried airframe puts Chiikawa in front of travelers who never bought a manga or watched the anime, and the cabin extras extend the tie-in past the paint job into the passenger experience.

ANA's Chiikawa Jet started flying domestic routes on October 19. The Boeing 767-300, registration JA609A, carries eight characters painted on both sides, plus seasonal motifs, and a four-leaf clover hidden somewhere in the design. The cabin adds limited-edition headrest covers and paper cups, and the characters are painted high enough on the fuselage to be seen from observation decks and boarding bridges.
The airframe is a Boeing 767-300 registered as JA609A. Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi appear on both sides at the front, with Kurimanju-senpai and Shisa on the rear left, and Momonga and Furuhonya-san on the rear right. Rakko-senpai appears on the right side. The characters wear ANA uniforms and other outfits across the design.
Seasonal motifs run alongside the eight painted characters, and one four-leaf clover is tucked somewhere in the livery for passengers to find. The cabin carries limited-edition headrest covers and paper cups in the same collaboration design.
