We are never flying in a non Frozen-themed plane again now that there is a real Frozen plane on earth. Yes, friends. WestJet has created a plane entirely devoted to one of our favorite films. The exterior features Anna and Elsa on the tail, and Olaf sunning himself on the nose. Inside the plane, “The interior of the Disney Frozen-themed plane brings together a blend of colours that mimic the seasons. As guests enter the aircraft, they will notice that the colours transition from warm-to-cold, mirroring the exterior of the aircraft.
The front bulkhead of the aircraft highlights summer with signature sunflowers that soon transition into fall colours. Mid-cabin, the overhead bin artwork begins to show signs of winter which eventually transitions into a full freeze and snowflakes. The rear bulkheads of the aircraft display a winter scene much like those a guest would see straight from the movie Frozen.”
Here are some fun facts about the construction of the Frozen plane from WestJet:
- The job took 21 days of 12-hour rotations involving a constant crew of six painters working 24/7.
- The crew used 643.5 litres of paint consisting of 23 colours — five for the umbrella alone.
- Sparkles were added to the paint in sections to add shimmer and shine as the aircraft moves.
- An airbrush artist was brought in to work on details around the sun, water and castle.
- The inside of the aircraft has decals and headrest covers that mimic the cold-to-warm (back-to-front) theme on the outside of the aircraft.
Yes, yes we are into this. Here’s a video that highlights the process of painting the plane:
The Frozen 737 will be flying on scheduled flights throughout WestJet’s network.
