Japan Airlines Co. introduced its third specially painted aircraft featuring the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics on Tuesday.

Images of some of the nation's top athletes, including tennis player Kei Nishikori and gymnastics superstar Kohei Uchimura, are painted on the side of the airplane with a message that reads "Go for it, Japan!"

Another feature of the aircraft is the Japan Airlines' tsurumaru crane logo, which is usually painted in red but has been emblazoned in gold for the first time.

The aircraft will be in service on four domestic routes, including Haneda to New Chitose and Itami to Naha, and will gradually be expanded on routes through November.
