The Pokemon Company has announced the launch of its Pokemon Air Adventures in Singapore, commemorating the project with a partnership with Scoot Pte Ltd for an exclusive Pikachu Jet TR in Singapore.
This milestone collaboration marks the first ASEAN airline outside of Japan to launch a unique Pokemon-themed inflight experience. As international travel restrictions ease, the partnership aims to revitalize the travel and aviation industry and connect travelers through a unique aviation experience.
Pokemon Air Adventures
The Pikachu Jet TR commences the first phase of TPC’s Pokemon Air Adventures with the aim of encouraging international tourists to travel to Singapore. The two parties unveiled the livery for the Pikachu Jet TR at a press conference held in Singapore Changi Airport earlier today. As part of its exterior design, the airplane features Pokemon-related imagery specifically custom-made for Singapore. The Pikachu Jet TR, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a capacity of 375 seats, is scheduled for its inaugural flight on the 9th of September to Tokyo, Japan.
Passengers can expect to book a trip between Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul, with flights departing bi-monthly from Changi Airport, Terminal 1. The fare prices for one-way tickets start from S$333 for a trip to Tokyo and S$231 for a trip to Seoul (inclusive of taxes). The routes of the Pikachu Jet TR will be reviewed periodically and customers can check out the latest details on Scoot’s website.
Offering an enjoyable and inclusive travel experience, passengers can also look forward to inflight amenities bearing Pokemon designs, including original merchandise such as tote bags, lanyards, bucket hats, and a collector’s edition of the aircraft model donned with the special livery. These are available for purchase during flight bookings through Scoot’s website and mobile app from the 9th of September, and onboard the inaugural flight. Additionally, a selection of specially curated Japanese inflight meals have been prepared to support this Pikachu Jet TR launch for the coming two quarters and are also available for pre-order.
Leslie Thng, the CEO, of Scoot, said, “We are excited and humbled to be the first ASEAN airline to partner with The Pokemon Company to connect customers across our network on the Pikachu Jet TR Together with one of the key franchises in the world, Scoot will offer customers a one-of-a-kind experience on the Pikachu Jet TR through a series of complementary inflight amenities, merchandise, meals, and activities. This will add fillip to the travel industry that is still recovering from the effects of the Covid pandemic, and we hope that this will help reignite the passion for travel and adventure.”
Pikachu Weekend in Singapore
Following the grand unveiling of the Pikachu Jet TR, a special Pikachu Weekend will be held in Singapore from the 18th to the 20th of November as part of TPC’s ongoing support for international travel and Singapore’s tourism economy. The event will feature a night show held at Marina Bay, alongside an exciting Pokémon GO event, “Pokémon GO Safari Zone: Singapore”, which will be held at Gardens by the Bay.
During the period of 18 to 20 November, the “Pokemon GO Safari Zone: Singapore” event, which is a special event from Pokemon GO will be offered all around Singapore. Users can purchase a ticket and participate at the main site at Gardens by the Bay, where Maractus will appear in the wild.

Also, Pikachu wearing a purple T-shirt (Flower), will be appearing in the wild from November 2022 for over one year to celebrate this event. Travelers to Singapore can try their luck and look for this exclusive Pikachu.
Susumu Fukunaga, Corporate Officer, The Pokemon Company shared, “The Pokemon Air Adventures Project was initiated with the intention of creating something special for our community during these uncertain times, providing excitement to everyone the Pokemon way, and to the industry that has been affected by the situation in more ways than one.
