A number of Hawaiian Airlines aircraft are getting a special Disneyfied facelift to celebrate the upcoming release of the new "live-action" Moana movie.
Hawaiian, in an announcement, unveiled the first of three Moana-themed liveries on an A321neo N227HA aircraft.
The designs include characters from the film: Maui as a hawk with his fishhook, Kakamora, and Moana’s animal companions Heihei and Pua on the wingtips and fuselage, and carry the phrase “Voyage beyond the reef”.
Inside the aircraft, the carrier says, Moana’s island friends will be illustrated in the overhead luggage bins.
The A321neo serves routes between Hawaiʻi, the US West Coast and the Cook Islands.
And, the airlins said other designs will appear in July on an A330, on its flagship transpacific aircraft, and on a Boeing 717 used for inter-island flights.
“Voyaging is at the heart of who we are as the airline of Hawaiʻi,” the airline said.
The three live-action liveries join earlier Hawaiian designs that marked the animated Moana films, and the carrier noted it has served Hawaiʻi for more than 96 years.
Two more Moana-painted aircraft will enter service in July ahead of the film’s July 10 debut.
