‘Toy Story’ Planes Are A Thing…And We Want To Fly On Them

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

Disney is going ALL out with Toy Story 5, and we’re seeing all kinds of fun promotions and collaborations nearly everywhere. The Internet nearly broke once the new Taylor Swift song for the film was released, but you’ll also find a ton of new Toy Story souvenirs and merchandise (including Crocs) and even a collaboration with Papa Johns for Toy Story-themed pizza.

Well, NOW, Toy Story is taking to the skies like Buzz Lightyear. Alaska Airlines recently announced that its regional carrier, Horizon Air, will have Toy Story planes.

Horizon Air is officially bringing Toy Story to the skies with a new livery of Embraer 175 planes with exteriors inspired by the new film. It features classic Toy Story characters like Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, as well as new Toy Story 5 characters, Lilypad, Snappy, Atlas, and Smarty Pants. The planes also feature fun Toy Story-inspired callouts like “Saddle Up, It’s Takeoff Time!” and “Ready for Takeoff, Partner.” Forky and Karen Beverly also appear on the planes’ winglets.

The new plane collection is called “To 45 and Beyond,” in a nod to Buzz Lightyear, but also commemorating Horizon Air’s 45th anniversary. Andy Schneider, President and CEO of Horizon Air, said, “I couldn’t think of a more special way to celebrate Horizon’s history with our guests than to bring out the kid in all of us. Forty-five years of service is a meaningful milestone, and I couldn’t be prouder of our people who, each and every day, put their best foot forward to deliver the industry’s best and most caring travel experience.”

These aren’t the first Disney-themed planes in Horizon Air’s fleet. The new Toy Story planes are joining nine other planes themed to Disneyland, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Mickey’s Toontown, and Star Wars.
