"This plane will delight guests of all ages from San Francisco to New
York and beyond," said Natalie
Bowman, Alaska Airlines' managing director of brand
marketing and advertising. "Like all of us at Alaska Airlines, many
of our guests have anxiously awaited Incredibles 2. We're
honored to take this incredible family to new heights and share the
imagery with travelers across our expansive route network."
Decked out in their Incredible super suits, the Parr family—Bob,
Helen, Violet, Dash and baby Jack-Jack—spans the fuselage. Guests
boarding the Incredibles 2 plane will see a logo when they
board. An image of the raccoon from the film, Jack-Jack's nemesis,
will delight guests seated over the wings.
"These characters are among the most celebrated characters in
the Pixar family," said Incredibles 2 producers Nicole Grindle and John
Walker. "After waiting 14 years to see them on the big
screen again, fans will love seeing them on their Alaska Airlines
plane, too."
The unique design is a collaboration between Disney•Pixar and
Alaska Airlines. The Incredibles 2-themed 737-800, tail
number N519AS, begins flying throughout Alaska's route network Sunday. With a cruising
speed of 530 mph and sporting larger-than-life images of the
"Supers," the plane will visit fans throughout the country via
transcontinental routes and flights to Hawaii.

About Incredibles 2
In "Incredibles 2," Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to
bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day
heroics of "normal" life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and
baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their
mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a
brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the
Parrs don't shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone
(voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by
their side. That's what makes this family so Incredible.
Written and directed by Brad Bird
("Iron Giant," "The Incredibles," "Ratatouille") and produced by
John Walker ("The Incredibles,"
"Tomorrowland") and Nicole Grindle
("Sanjay's Super Team" short, "Toy Story 3" associate producer),
Disney•Pixar's "Incredibles 2" busts into theaters on June 15, 2018.
