(09/29/22)
China Airlines has officially unveiled its Pikachu Jet, the first aircraft in Pokmon livery in Taiwan and the most colorful livery in the airline’s history.
The A321neo livery took 21 days to apply and 36 different types of paint were used.
Eleven Pokémon characters are featured, including Pikachu flying through the sky with Shaymin, Swablu, Togekiss, Munna, Jigglypuff, Snorlax, Slowpoke, and Teddiursa.
A hidden egg with Pikachu and Shaymin appears above the cockpit window, waving to the world as if they were pilots.

Painting the livery was a transnational effort involving engineers from China Airlines’ maintenance division as well as Japanese paint experts who traveled to Taiwan.
