Local low-cost carrier Peach Aviation launched its first Narita route on Sunday. The budget airline got former AKB princess Mariko Shinoda to help them promote the service and even specially decorated a whole aircraft in her likeness, Japan Trends reported on Monday.
The service is operated by an Airbus A320-200 twice daily. The Airbus A320-200 -- aka the "Mariko jet" -- looked about as glitzy and cutesy as you can get, while Mariko no doubt made a lot of fantasies come true by dressing up as a cabin attendant for the occasion. According to the official press release, Mariko apparently designed the uniform and plane herself.
