Alaska Airlines debuts Pixar Pier-themed aircraft

Alaska Airlines unveiled its latest special-edition aircraft that looks like Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure.

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie of “Toy Story” fame span both sides of the aircraft. One of the Aliens can be spotted on both winglets, and even Rex the Tyrannosaurus makes a special appearance at the boarding door. The plane is named “Friendship and Beyond at Disneyland Resort.”

The design is a collaboration between the teams at Alaska, Disney and Pixar. The Pixar Pier-themed 737-800, tail number N537AS, is now flying throughout Alaska’s route network.
