The Disney Frozen-themed plane

Painting

Over 170 gallons of paint were used to create the cold-to-warm scene on the Disney Frozen-themed plane. There were 23 colours used in the design and sparkles were added to sections of the paint to show movement as the aircraft flies through the sky. A team of painters came together from Canada, the United States and Germany to bring this livery to life. Watch the painting of the aircraft.

The interior of the Disney Frozen themed aircraft has since been updated to reflect our new 2x2 seating and cabin reconfiguration and no longer features special decals on the interior.
