Virgin Australia Unveils Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5-Themed Aircraft Virgin Australia has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Disney and Pixar, introducing a specially designed aircraft themed around the upcoming “Toy Story 5” movie. The aircraft, featuring iconic characters like Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear, marks the airline’s first co-branded livery in nearly a decade. The initiative coincides with the film’s release in cinemas on 18 June 2026, aiming to create a magical travel experience for passengers. The custom-designed Boeing 737-800 aircraft reimagines the signature livery as a nostalgic tribute to the Toy Story franchise, which has captivated generations since its debut over 30 years ago. The themed aircraft will operate across Virgin Australia’s domestic network, offering passengers a visual celebration of the beloved characters. The campaign extends beyond the aircraft, integrating Toy Story 5 elements into the entire customer journey, including airports, lounges, and inflight entertainment. From 1 June 2026, travelers will enjoy exclusive Toy Story 5 experiences. These include complimentary themed colouring packs for children, access to the Toy Story series, and over 60 Disney movie classics through Virgin Australia’s inflight entertainment. A new Toy Story 5 game will be available on all domestic flights from 15 June to 19 July 2026. Participants can enter a competition to win a Pixar-themed experience in Tokyo for themselves and up to three friends or family members, subject to terms and conditions. The airline has also introduced “Toy Tickets,” a first for Australian airlines, allowing children to request personalized boarding passes for their favorite teddy bears or cuddly companions.#disney #pixar #toy_story_5 #virgin_australia #libby_minogue
