Starting 15 August 2024, All Nippon Airways (ANA) will introduce Pokémon-themed in-flight safety and disembarkation videos, co-created with The Pokémon Company. These videos will be featured on ANA’s “Pikachu Jet NH” and “Eevee Jet NH,” offering passengers a unique and engaging pre-flight experience.
This initiative is part of ANA’s participation in the “Pokémon Air Adventures,” which began in March 2023. The collaboration between ANA and The Pokémon Company has already seen the launch of two specially painted aircraft for international flights. The new in-flight videos aim to enhance the passenger experience by delivering important safety information in an entertaining and easily understandable format, appealing to both children and adults.
The ANA x Pokémon In-Flight Safety Video features beloved Pokémon characters, guiding passengers through various in-flight safety procedures. In addition, the ANA Disembarkation Video showcases Pikachu as it embarks on a journey, ultimately reuniting with its trainer with the help of ANA airport staff, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to teamwork and passenger care.
Motoaki Ueno, Executive Vice President of Customer Experience Management and Planning at ANA, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the blend of entertainment and essential safety information as a way to elevate the flight experience for passengers of all ages.
The videos are available in 18 languages with multilingual subtitles and include sign language in partnership with the Japanese Federation of the Deaf, ensuring accessibility for a broad audience.
Passengers can also view the new in-flight safety and disembarkation videos on ANA’s official YouTube channel.
