ANA’s famous R2-D2-themed Boeing 787-9 has completed its final flight, marking the near end of the airline’s decade-long Star Wars collaboration. The aircraft toured major cities before returning to Tokyo for repainting. ANA’s tie-up with Disney featured four unique liveries that captured global attention. The final themed jet, C-3PO, will retire in early 2026. Over 5 million passengers flew aboard these special jets during their run.
