'Moana'-Themed Planes Take Off Ahead of Anticipated Film
The new planes are a collaboration between Disney and Hawaiian Airlines.
— -- Hawaiian Airlines, in collaboration with Walt Disney Studios, unveiled last weekend the first of three custom Airbus A330 aircraft painted with imagery from “Moana.”
The inaugural decal design features four characters from the movie, including the demigod Maui, the adventurous teenager Moana, and her two friends: Heihei the rooster and Pua the pig.
Next month, Hawaiian will reveal two additional livery designs, reimagining each aircraft as a modern-day voyaging canoe, flying Moana, Maui and their friends.
The overhead luggage bins on all three “Moana”-themed Airbus A330s are also being decorated with characters and artwork from the film. The planes will fly on Hawaiian’s regularly scheduled U.S. domestic routes as well as to international destinations, including Brisbane and Sydney, Australia, Osaka and Tokyo, Japan, and Auckland, New Zealand, through March 2017.
The movie will be released Nov. 23.
