The Japan Times reported that Zipair is no longer flying with its large "Z" logo because it is afraid it will be taken as a sign of support for Russia.
The tail fins of the B-787 planes were painted with a large black letter "Z".
According to The Japan Times, Shingo Nishida said that some people may see the giant logo as an indication of support for Russia.
Nishida thinks some people might feel that way when they don't know anything.
A green, black and white pattern will replace the logo on Saturday, according to the paper.
The letter "Z" became a symbol of support for the Russian military in the early days of the invasion.
Russian athletes and movie stars wear the Z logos, President Putin gave a rally in front of giant signs incorporating the letter Z, and school children were encouraged to make art around the letter Z.
