Kill Bill Airline

I can't seem to find my Kill Bill DVDs - can anyone tell me if we get a name for the airline the Bride uses to fly to Japan (notable mainly for the katana-holders provided by the first-class seats) or what type of aircraft they use?

I'm assuming it's a Japanese airline - if it isn't named, can anyone suggest a name for a Japanese airline that isn't already in use? Don't need the Japanese characters, just an English name e.g. Fuji Airlines (or whatever).

SOLVED thanks to [livejournal.com profile] pauldrye and [livejournal.com profile] errolwi and the Internet Movie Plane DB (which I suspect will interest several of my friends with an interest in aviation)

I'm away from my DVDs right now, but I saw it a couple of weeks ago on the Beeb, and I remember thinking that I didn't recognise the airline. It was something generic, with 'Japan' in the name; was it 'Japan Airways'?

No idea - does Air-O sound familiar?

Huh, got that completely wrong. Is that O a callout to the Seven Samurai flag, do you think?

Can I introduce you to the Internet Movie Plane DB?

No problem! I've been meaning to add a couple of kiwi movies to it.

Other suggestions: TransAsian Airlines, Asian Co-prosperity Airways, Hello Kitty Skyways.

Definitely Air-O - thanks anyway.
