Spirit Airlines unveils a Dumbo wrapped plane
Spirit Airlines unveiled an Airbus A321 that features a larger-than-life image of Dumbo. The airline is teaming up with Disney to celebrate the upcoming release of its live-action movie “Dumbo.”
Spirit and Disney revealed the new plane with a time-lapse video of the decal wrapping process which took place at Spirit’s Detroit maintenance hangar.
The plane’s initial flight was from Detroit Metro Airport to Orlando International Airport. Guests traveling between Detroit, Orlando, San Juan, Fort Lauderdale, and Baltimore/Washington will have the chance to fly with “Dumbo” on the first three days of service.
The aircraft will then travel across the country for the next two months. The movie opens in theaters on March 29, 2019.
“As Florida’s Hometown Airline, we are excited to bring the magic of ‘Dumbo’ to our fleet,” said Bobby Schroeter, Spirit Airlines’ Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
As the “Dumbo” plane takes flight, Spirit also gave away a trip to the “Dumbo” world premiere in Los Angeles. One Guest who entered Spirit’s online sweepstakes* won the grand prize, including four tickets to the movie premiere, four roundtrip tickets to Los Angeles on Spirit, and a 2-night hotel stay.
