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.
