Westjet unveils Frozen-themed plane in latest Disney partnership
From CBC News:
Westjet has unveiled a new Frozen-themed plane — its second custom-painted Disney-themed aircraft.
The Calgary-based airline unveiled the Frozen plane at a hangar in Toronto on Sunday morning.
The mostly-blue plane features Anna and Elsa working some snow magic on the tail, while snowman Olaf features on the front, lying under an umbrella on the beach. The aircraft was painted in Fort Worth, Texas, using 624 litres of paint in 23 colours. It will join Westjet's "Magic Plane" featuring Sorcerer Mickey, launched two years ago.
The new plane has a winter end and a summer end. Each of the 54 overhead bins has a unique decal, in keeping with the back-to-front cold-to-warm theme.
The Boeing 737 will fly to various destinations in Westjet's network, not just Orlando.
Check out the time lapsed video of the painting process at www.webdisney.com
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

It makes you wonder why Disney never got into the Air business. They could put planes in all the big airports and start your magic at your home airport.

This question comes up all the time when there is a plane, from any airline, with Disney markings....
It is just not financially realistic for Disney to own a fleet of planes that are dedicated to flying to/from Disney Parks (nearest major airports). Other airlines can do this because they are not limited to airports near Disney parks and Disney pays them as part of their marketing budget.

I forget who, but somebody very wise once said: "If you want to be a millionaire, start with a billion dollars and buy an airline". The logistics & profit potential just aren't there, so Disney has wisely stayed away from it.

Pretty as it is - I sooo don't want to end up having to fly in it! Nonononono
It could be worse - The theming could be on the inside as well!
Please! Make it stop!

When will it stop? I have visions of archaeologists from the future digging up all this Elsa stuff and wondering who this woman was that we all apparently worshipped.

I hate to fly, I mean a serious Phobia. I can barely pick someone else up at the airport!
But I'd totally think about flying on this. How fun! I'm in the minority and think it's awesome!

Sorry! I hadn't originally seen the interior.. I saw it later in the day, see Figment got it in there! Westjet has just added another direct flight to Orlando every week from Vancouver. Maybe I'll be Frozen on my next trip.
