Westjet Debuts New Disney Frozen-Themed Boeing 737 Inspired by Elsa and Anna After Magic Plane
Westjet's new Disney Frozen-Themed Boeing 737 was launched in Toronto, Canada on Sunday, Oct.18. The newly-designed aircraft comes as the second Disney-inspired jet after the airline company released its Magic Plane featuring Sorcerer Mickey, two years ago.
Westjet's new Disney Frozen-Themed Boeing 737 features Elsa and Anna characters looking like they're working on snow work positioned on the plane's tail while Olf snowman was designed on the front lying under an umbrella. According to CBC News, the new Disney aircraft was painted in Fort Worth in Texas using 624 liters of paint in 23 assorted colors.
"This aircraft takes the relationship between WestJet and Disney to a completely new level of cool," said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Commercial. "Two years ago, we launched the #MagicPlane, our first Disney-themed aircraft, and no matter where it flies throughout our network, it is the most-anticipated and most-photographed aircraft in WestJet history. Today, we are proud to team up with our great friends at Disney to create a sequel like no other," according to Westjet statement via World Airline News.
Westjet's new Disney Frozen-Themed Boeing 737 comes as another collaboration of WestJet, WestJet Vacations and The Walt Disney Company (Canada) Ltd., Parks and Resorts to bring the highest-grossing animated film of all time to the Canadian airline's fleets. Just like the Magical Plane, the new Disney plane depicts a story where it is seen that Elsa and Anna celebrate sisterhood on the tail end. The Disney theme is also designed throughout the entire plane including its interior such as bulkheads, lavatory mirrors overhead bins, and headrests.
Westjet's new Disney Frozen-Themed Boeing 737 was painted for 21 days with 12-hour rotation in order to meet the deadline, Bustle reports. The paint crew consisted of Canadians, Germans and Americans. There are also six men in charge of working 24/7 to finish the designer jet. The painters made use of glitters or sparkles to enhance shine on the aircraft design as it flies.
A new line of Magical Planes awaits Westjet's tavelers. Kids and adults alike will relive the magic of the much acclaimed Disney movie, Frozen, this time as they fly high in the sky.
