Epic Sci-Fi Jetliners

The Star Wars X All Nippon Airways R2-d2 Plane is a Five-Year Project

— April 17, 2015 — Autos
This R2-D2 Plane is apart of the recently announced 'Star Wars Project' from All Nippon Airways. The first stage of the project will feature a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner transformed with a R2-D2 painted livery.

The planned R2-D2 Plane is similar to EVA's Hello Kitty-themed airplane that launched in recent years. However, it appears that the R2-D2 Plane will only be characterized by its exterior paint job as there has been no mention of on-board branding, like as with the Hello Kitty plane.

The announcement from All Nippon Airways regarding the planned five-year 'Star Wars Project' is a special marketing campaign from Disney that comes in the same week as the release of the new trailer for the series' latest installment, which hits theaters on December 18, 2015.
Trend Themes
1. Star Wars-themed Airplanes - Creating custom-themed airplanes based on popular franchises like Star Wars offers a unique opportunity for airlines to attract fans and create memorable travel experiences.
