2. Background of the service
The Pokémon Company has concluded a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Hokkaido, and is making various efforts to revitalize Hokkaido by using Alolan Rokon and Rokon.
3. Design Concept
AIRDO's Boeing 767 aircraft will be specially painted with an asymmetrical design of Rokon on the right side and the Alolan Rokon on the left side, together with AIRDO's corporate colors, AIRDO Yellow and AIRDO Blue, to add a colorful touch to air travel in Hokkaido. Please take note of the large design of the Rokons from the tip of the fuselage to the tail.

The headrest covers for the seats have Rokon characters relaxing on the left and right seats, and Rokon characters peeking into the center seat, creating a different view of the world for the left and right seats, just like the aircraft design. In the 37th row, two Rokons are showcased in the center seat, in reference to the Rokon's Pokémon identification number.
During drink service, cabin attendants will wear original aprons and serve drinks in original paper cups.
In addition, postcards and stickers will be available on board the flight only for the Rokon Jet, and will be handed out to passengers who wish to receive them.
