Plarail Air Set Lets an ANA Jet Run on Blue Tracks
The set is the first Plarail and ANA collaboration, and it represents Takara Tomy's attempt to expand the Plarail line by running something other than a train on the classic blue tracks.

Takara Tomy announced the Plarail Air: Loop Around the Sky! ANA Passenger Jet Set, an all-in-one set featuring an airplane modeled after an ANA passenger jet running on blue tracks. It reproduces tire retraction and banking on curves, and assembles vertically for a three-dimensional layout. Release is set for October 1, 2026.
Takara Tomy is taking Plarail off the rails with a set that runs an airplane instead of a train. The Plarail Air: Loop Around the Sky! ANA Passenger Jet Set includes a jet modeled after an ANA passenger aircraft, tracks, and a map sheet, and it is scheduled for release on October 1, 2026.
The set reproduces airplane-specific movements, including tire retraction like a takeoff and landing, and banking when passing through curves. The tracks assemble vertically rather than flat, creating a three-dimensional layout meant to give a floating sensation. The included map sheet can combine with separately sold Plarail vehicles and Tomica to build an airport or town.
This is the first collaboration between Plarail and ANA. Takara Tomy frames the product as a new challenge for the blue tracks, which have kept the same standard since Plarail's birth in 1959.
