Video: Hawaiian Airlines Debuts First Disney's Moana-Themed A330 Aircraft
Oct. 18, 2016
Hawaiian Airlines, in collaboration with The Walt Disney Studios, unveiled last weekend the first of three custom Airbus A330 aircraft being painted with imagery from comedy adventure "Moana".
The inaugural decal design features four characters from the movie on Hawaiian's fuselage as they take off on a wayfinding journey, 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 featuring custom-made decals that show the characters interacting with the planes in dynamic and engaging ways. The unique artwork, created by Walt Disney Animation Studios in collaboration with Hawaiian's team, reimagines each aircraft as a modern-day voyaging canoe, flying Moana, Maui, and their friends to new and exciting destinations.
The overhead luggage bins on all three "Moana"-themed 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 of 2017.
The new livery was designed in collaboration with Walt Disney Studios to promote the upcoming comedy "Moana", which is set to be released in the U.S. on November 23.
