Nippon Airways (ANA) has launched a five-year “Star Wars Project” that includes a new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner painted with an R2-D2 livery, proving yet again that the astromech droid does indeed have the ability to take flight. The “Star Wars” themed plane is due to start flying international routes this fall, says the airline.
The “Star Wars Project” includes a special ANA website that plays the iconic theme song and features videos and photos of the plane. It won’t be available for private charter just yet, but there will certainly be offers. As there is no cooler way to travel to your business meeting than in a private chartered Stars Wars themed Dreamliner! This promotional tie-in comes ahead of the release of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Due to hit theaters December 18, it’s likely to be one of the biggest box office hits of the year.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the first film in the Star Wars franchise to be released under Disney’s ownership. The studio paid $4 billion for Lucasfilm Ltd. in 2012.
World’s largest 787 fleet
ANA was the launch customer for the 787, which entered service in 2011. With 34 Dreamliners, it currently operates the world’s largest 787 fleet. The airline has an additional 49 787s on order, says manufacturer Boeing.
Late last month, Boeing announced Nippon Airways had finalized an order for three 787-10 Dreamliners, valued at approximately $900 million at list prices. The order makes Nippon Airways the first airline in Asia to operate the entire family of 787 Dreamliners.
