Batik motif-themed trains rolled out in Japan to celebrate SIA’s 35 years of flying to Nagoya

From Oct 7 to Nov 3, Japanese commuters will be greeted by floral batik patterns adorning the exteriors of some Nagoya Railway trains. These batik motif-themed trains were rolled out by Singapore Airlines (SIA) to mark its 35 years of flying to and from Nagoya, said the national carrier in a press statement in Japanese on Oct 4. The airline said it began operating three flights a week from Nagoya to Singapore in October 1989. SIA said the batik motif, which is featured on SIA’s sarong kebaya uniforms, represents the history and tradition of the airline, as well as the lush garden city of Singapore. The trains with the special livery will operate on 12 lines including the Nagoya Main, Toyokawa, Inuyama and Tokoname lines. SIA passengers departing from Nagoya from Oct 1 to 26 will also be treated to in-flight meals using specialities from the Chubu region.<br/>
