Alaska Airlines gets ‘animated’ with themed aircraft featuring artwork from Disney and Pixar’s ‘Toy Story 4’

Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4 on June 21, Alaska Airlines unveiled a special-edition aircraft.

The Toy Story 4-themed aircraft, Alaska’s second livery to feature Pixar’s characters, is decked out with toys from the “Toy Story 4” world. The aircraft was revealed to a crowd of surprised guests at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport by Alaska’s own Chief Football Officer Russell Wilson.

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Bo Peep span the fuselage while new toy Forky appears on the winglet, sparking smiles on guests peering out the windows of the aircraft. Guests boarding the Toy Story 4 aircraft will also see a logo.

The unique design is a collaboration between Disney and Pixar and Alaska Airlines. The Toy Story 4-themed 737-800, tail number N589AS, is now flying throughout Alaska’s route network. With a cruising speed of 530 mph and sporting larger-than-life images of the toys, the aircraft will visit fans throughout the country via transcontinental routes and flights to Hawai’i.

Guests on the aircraft’s inaugural flight were treated to a celebration at the gate and on board, where they were also presented with a complimentary one-month Cinemark Movie Club membership. The membership will allow recipients to see the film at any Cinemark location where Toy Story 4 is playing.
