Japan Airlines (JAL) will deploy a specially
decorated aircraft on select domestic routes from 27 May 2012 to
show support for the Japanese national team representing the
country at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games to be held in London this
year from 27 July through 12 August 2012.
A Boeing 777-200 aircraft from JAL's fleet
(registration number: JA772J) will feature the official slogan of
the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) - "Ganbare! Nippon!" (Go for
it! Japan!) written in Japanese characters down the fuselage after
the wing. Just beneath the stream of words are logos of JOC, the
organization's official sports club partner Konami Sports and Life
Co., Ltd, and official airline JAL. Alongside the logos is the
face of prominent two-time Olympic silver medalist for gymnastics
and leader of the KONAMI Gymnastics Team Yohei Uchimura.
The special livery aircraft will be used on
routes from Tokyo (Haneda) to Sapporo (Chitose), Osaka (Itami),
Fukuoka and Okinawa (Naha) between 27 May and early September
2012.
JAL has supported the Olympic Games and Japanese
national teams in the past through a variety of ways such as
transporting the Olympic Torch, chartering flights carrying
participants to the games, promoting the event in Japan as the
official airline of JOC, and decorating its aircraft with special
livery.
