All Nippon Airways (ANA) will end its long-running Star Wars jets program in March 2026, the Japanese airline announced this week. The themed livery campaign began in 2015 through a licensing agreement with Lucasfilm and Disney.
The first of ANA’s three Star Wars-branded aircraft, the R2-D2 ANA JET, will operate its final flight on Tuesday. The 787-9 is scheduled to fly as NH102 from Tokyo Haneda to Washington Dulles and return to Tokyo as NH101.
The remaining two aircraft in the program, including the C-3PO ANA JET, will be phased out by March 2026. ANA said the C-3PO-themed aircraft is expected to complete its final flight in the first week of January, with further details to be published in the fall.
Each of ANA’s Star Wars jets featured exterior liveries and themed in-flight products such as headrest covers, paper cups, and crew uniforms. The program included Boeing 777s and 787-9 Dreamliners, all painted with characters from the Star Wars franchise.
ANA stated the program will officially conclude when all related flights and services end by March 31, 2026.
