The mostly-blue plane features Anna and Elsa working a few snow magic on the tail, while snowman Olaf features on the front, lying under an umbrella on the beach. The new jet was created by WestJet with the help of Walt Disney Imagineers, and an army of painters and artists.

In addition to the vibrant exterior, the project also included interior customization around the plane’s cabin and overhead bin doors.
The plane, registered as C-GWSV with tail number 810, is equipped with the company’s new WestJet Connect system, which will provide passengers with a selection of Disney videos on demand.
“If this plane can make someone smile, I think I’ve done my job”. The new plane will be flying to not only Orlando, but all over the rest of WestJet’s locations as well.
To get into the spirit, the paint team watched the movie before getting started.
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. The crew used 643.5 litres of paint and 23 different colours, and the crew consisted of members from Canada, the United States, and Germany.

Several dozen bagels were consumed during the painting of this aircraft (there weren’t any doughnut stores nearby).
