Furthermore, plans are in place to introduce a third special livery aircraft (for domestic flights) in the future. Please look forward to further updates.

About the official character ‘MYAKU-MYAKU’:
A symbol of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
A mysterious creature born from the unification of cells and water.
Its identity is unknown.
The red part is the “cell,” which divides and increases.
