Japan Airlines and Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. announce the launch of the “JAL and GUNDAM FLY TO THE FUTURE PROJECT” in collaboration with Expo 2025 to be held in Yumeshima, Osaka from April 2025. As part of this initiative, the Expo Edition “JAL GUNDAM JET” began operations on March 3rd.

The Expo Edition “JAL GUNDAM JET” is a specially designed aircraft featuring the image of the RX-78F00/E GUNDAM which appears in a new video from the “GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION” exhibited by Bandai Namco at the Expo. The aircraft will also feature the official character of the Expo, “MYAKU-MYAKU”.

The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, will operate on domestic routes. Details and flight schedule will be announced on JAL’s website.

By having the “JAL GUNDAM JET” fly through the skies of Japan through this collaboration, the aim is to share the vision of the “GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION”, which seeks to connect people worldwide through GUNDAM and encourages everyone to think about the “Future” together. This message is especially aimed at children, who will shape the future.
