Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay 

Hope Lights Our Way 
JA837J
JAL  [+]
2020

ANA and JAL were both official sponsors of the Tokyo 2020 Games and this rare "jointly-branded" aircraft was used to carry the Olympic Torch from Athens to Matsushima Air Self Defense Force base in Miyagi Prefecture on March 20, 2020. This aircraft was not used for the torch relay in Japan itself and the special decals were removed shortly after the torch arrived in the country.

TAM was the official sponsor of the 2016 Rio Olympics and carried the torch from Greece to Brazil. This 767 was in fact the very first aircraft rolled out in the new LATAM corporate image; it sported the special decals for a very short period of time.
