T'way Air launches Pikachu Jet TW

T’way Air Co. said on Tuesday that it would start running the Pokemon-wrapped airplane "Pikachu Jet TW" from the end of this month and release four types of Pokemon special edition goods.

T’way Air’s Pikachu Jet TW will hold an inaugural event at Gimpo Airport on Dec. 28 and will start full-scale operation, starting with flight TW667 between Gimpo and Songshan Airport in Taipei. It will be mainly used on the Gimpo-Songshan route and domestic flights departing from Gimpo Airport.

During the event, random Pikachu stickers will be given away to all passengers, and free tickets for Japan routes will be presented to passengers who draw a Pilot Pikachu sticker.
