Singapore’s First Pikachu Jet Takes To The Skies This Week, The Pokémon Company Says Hopes The Move Will Help Inspire Air Travel

9 September is going to be a special date for Pokémon fans in Singapore and Southeast Asia, that’s when the inaugural flight for the Pikachu Jet takes off from Singapore. 

The plane, decked out in Pokémon paraphernalia both inside and out, is the culmination of a collaboration between Singapore’s low-cost carrier Scoot and The Pokémon Company.

Known officially as the Pikachu Jet TR, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner has a capacity of 375 seats. 

Customers will be treated to a themed inflight experience onboard, including original merchandise like tote bags and bucket hats, as well as a collector’s edition of the aircraft model decked out with the special livery. 

This is the first time an ASEAN airline is playing host to a Pokémon-themed flight.

The Deputy General Manager for the Business Development and the Flying Pikachu Project at The Pokémon Company, Susumu Fukunaga, said the idea to launch Pokémon-themed flights in Singapore stemmed, ironically, from the Covid-19 pandemic. 

“As you may know from our games and anime series, the aim of Pokémon  is to travel somewhere new for adventures,” said Mr Fukunaga at the launch event in Jewel Changi Airport. “We thought of how to create a project to excite people as well as motivate them. We hope (this collaboration will help) to contribute to the tourism and aviation infrastructure to inspire people to travel again.”

Interestingly enough, The Pokémon Company, which usually charges companies royalties for use for its images, said this time the collaboration was done royalties-free, because the theme of this project was social contributions. 

In an interview with TechStorm, Scoot’s Chief Executive Officer, Leslie Thng said: “(It’s) got to go with two strategic brands who believe in a strategic partnership (…) to reignite the passion for travel. It’s to create fun, innovative and unforgettable memories.”

Mr Fukunaga agreed. “As this was a corporate social responsibility project, we were looking for a company that really understood our philosophy and our mind. It was quite a coincidence that (The Pokémon Company) had spoken to Scoot and we felt that both sides really understood each other’s philosophy.” 

This is not the first Pikachu Jet to hit the skies –  the Flying Pikachu Campaign first kicked off last year in Japan’s Okinawa, while Taiwan’s flag carrier China Airlines announced a collaboration with The Pokémon Company earlier this year.

Mr Thng said the timing of this collaboration was right, as borders start reopening.

For now, the Pikachu Jet will ply two themed routes – Tokyo’s Narita and Seoul, but Mr Thng said there are other chances for you to board the Pikachu Jet.

“For themed flights, there will be cabin crew engagement,” Mr Thng told TechStorm. “There will be a specially curated Japanese meal offered. For the non-themed flights, it’ll just be a part of aircraft rotation; you buy a Scoot flight to Bali and it just happens that on the day itself, we use this aircraft to fly.”

Scoot said more themed flight routes could be added in the future, especially within Asia although Mr Thng said that would be very much dependent on passenger demand. 

Interested in the themed Pikachu flights? You can check out the current dates here. 

Prices range from US$238 for Narita and US$165 for Seoul.

Can’t fly? 

Pokémon Go fans can still take part in a special Pikachu Weekend coming to Singapore this November, with an exclusive Singapore-only Pikachu up for grabs.

  328. You actually make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually one thing which I feel I
    might never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and very vast for me.
    I’m taking a look forward on your next put up, I’ll try to get the cling of it!

  330. I have been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is lovely price enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

  331. We’re a gaggle of volunteers and opening a new scheme in our community. Your web site provided us with useful information to work on. You have done an impressive activity and our whole group will be thankful to you.

  333. One of the first questions for SHIB newcomers is “What is a Shiba Inu wallet and how do I get one?” Let’s find out! Hello @Jerry_17 To better assist, please send the following information: A crypto wallet — often called a “hot wallet” — is a location for holding crypto “on-chain” (i.e. linked to the blockchain versus off-chain cold storage.) Many users use wallet applications to help them manage their blockchain addresses, since each chain uses its own addresses. Shiba Token. “Shiba Inu Ecosystem, Woof Paper (v2),” Requires download. Page 7. DoggyDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) run and governed by token holders, will also start operations when Shibarium goes live and will be used to fund projects building on the blockchain. Meme coins are cryptocurrencies and tokens that are typically inspired by internet memes. They often don’t have significant functional utility, and their prices can change rapidly and dramatically.

    Often times, people confuse “meme coins” with “altcoins.” It’s important to make the distinction that not all “altcoins” are “meme coins,” but all “meme coins” are “altcoins.” Bitcoin enthusiasts, or miners, earn coins by using computers to solve puzzles in the decentralized database that underpins it, the blockchain. In the early days of Bitcoin, about a decade ago, miners could use home computers to mint new coins that were worth a few dollars, at least on a screen. As the market grew over time, the puzzles the miners had to solve to earn new coins grew more and more complex, requiring increased computing power and, by extension, energy. On 10 January, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Bitcoin. For disciples, the formal approval confirms that Bitcoin investments are safe and the preceding rally is proof of an unstoppable triumph. We disagree with both claims and reiterate that the fair value of Bitcoin is still zero. For society, a renewed boom-bust cycle of Bitcoin is a dire perspective. And the collateral damage will be massive, including the environmental damage and the ultimate redistribution of wealth at the expense of the less sophisticated.*

  334. Most leading online casinos allow you to use an ACH (Automated Clearing House) e-check to fund your account quickly and easily. That makes it a popular option for online players, and you can usually withdraw using this method too, but the money can take longer to arrive than it does using an e-wallet. In the past few years, the popularity of online casinos has increased significantly. This has lead to increasing competition in the market, and forced operators to increase their casino game selection, customer service, and many other aspects of their business as well. We have also seen an increased number of new real money casinos migrate from Europe, as the US online casino market grows in size. Furthermore, some big players like ESPN and Fanatics are looking to launch their own real money online casino sites. In 2024 the best real money online casino sites are:

De acordo com informações, o valor máximo de BTC que poderá estar disponível no mercado é de 21 milhões. Atualmente, aproximadamente 19 milhões já foram mineradas. Um diferencial muito interessante da Binance, como mencionamos, é a possibilidade de negociar diretamente com outros investidores no mercado P2P da plataforma. Nessa modalidade, o investidor pode comprar criptomoedas de outros usuários para conseguir os melhores preços e condições.
