Alaska Airlines unveils new special livery
May 1, 2025
Alaska Airlines has unveiled a new Disneyland Resort themed aircraft, in collaboration with the Disneyland Resort. The aircraft was unveiled at Portland International Airport on 25 April 2025, before it flew its first trip to Santa Ana, California. The aircraft, Boeing 737-800 (N596AS c/n 35688), wears a specially themed-livery for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a new attraction coming to Disneyland Park. The Disneyland Resort is a premier destination for Alaska Airlines passengers visiting Southern California.
Alaska Airlines and Disney have enjoyed a 25 year co-operation, and the ‘Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Flyer’ is the ninth Disney-themed to be operated by Alaska Airlines. Previous special liveries have included ‘Mickey’s Toontown Express’, with images of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto and Donald and Daisy Duck; a space-black ‘Star Wars Transport to the Disneyland Resort’ livery; and the ‘Toy Story’ themed ‘Friendship and Beyond at Disneyland Resort’, with images of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie.
Sybil Crum, vice president of marketing and commercial strategy at Disneyland Resort, said that: “For more than 25 years, Alaska Airlines and Disneyland Resort have collaborated to bring magic and happiness to the skies. As Disneyland Resort prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary, this latest addition honours our legacy and looks ahead to a bright future with Princess Tiana leading the way.”
The ’Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Flyer’ has a vibrant livery inspired by ‘The Princess and the Frog’ with images of Princess Tiana, Louis the Alligator splashing among the water lilies on the bayou, a brilliant trail of friendly fireflies flowing from the plane’s nose to tail, and Mama Odie and Prince Naveen pictured on the winglets. The intricate design took artists more than 2,000 hours to paint. On board, a children’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure snack pack will be available for purchase from this summer, while supplies last.
Eric Edge, the Vice President of Brand and Marketing, at Alaska Airlines said that: “Every journey should be as magical as the destination, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Flyer brings that wonder to the skies in a way that perfectly complements our commitment to creating remarkable journeys. This aircraft captures Princess Tiana’s love for exploration and adventure, inspiring our guests to embrace new possibilities and create memories along the way.”
