BB-8™ ANA JET to Fly from Haneda to Los Angeles
STAR WARS fans have rejoiced over the R2-D2™ ANA JET last year but now Japan's largest airline has announced the inaugural flight of the final of three aircraft that is decorated in special STAR WARS livery - the BB-8™ ANA JET (Boeing 777-300). Featuring the new and adorable character from the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, BB-8™ ANA JET will roll out on 27 March 2016 (domestically) and commence on her first international route on 29 March 2016.

Passengers on the BB-8™ ANA JET will experience the world of Star Wars with specially-designed BB-8 paper cups and headrest covers and cabin attendants will wear BB-8 aprons. On the R2-D2™ ANA JET, which is already in service (Boeing 787-9 flying international routes), cabin attendants wear R2-D2 aprons.
Qantas first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring next-generation seating across Economy, Premium Economy and Business has touched down in Sydney, marking the start of an exciting new era for the national carrier and for how Australians travel. With an extended flying range and cabin layout, the 236-seat plane will open up more direct routes (e.g. Perth to London) and take passengers' comfort to the next level. The aircraft also features the Boeing-designed turbulence dampening technology, improved air quality to reduce jet lag and 65 per cent larger windows that give an increased sense of space.
