Alaska Airlines has debuted its swanky new Disneyland-themed aircraft just in time for the park's 70th anniversary celebrations commencing next month.

The new Boeing 737-800, christened as "Tiana's Bayou Adventure Flyer," marks Alaska Airlines' ninth Disneyland-themed aircraft yet the first with a Disney princess gracing its exterior.

This striking aviation art took approximately 2,000 laborious hours to paint and made its maiden voyage from Portland International Airport, touching down in Santa Ana, California. The design pays tribute to "The Princess and the Frog" from Walt Disney Animation Studios and the corresponding water-based attraction at Disneyland.

Eric Edge, vice president of brand and marketing for Alaska Airlines, expressed, "This aircraft encapsulates Princess Tiana's zest for adventure and exploration, resonating with our guests to venture into new frontiers and create unforgettable memories."
