Flying the Pacific with Disney’s Moana
With just 10 weeks to go until the NZ opening of one of the biggest family movies of year – Disney’s Moana, an aircraft has been unveiled with Pacific inspired designs featuring characters from the movie.
Hawaiian Airlines has unveiled a Disney’s Moana-themed plane which will fly from Auckland to Honolulu.
It’s the first of three custom Airbus A330 aircraft being adorned with imagery from the CG-animated comedy adventure which features Disney’s first Polynesian princess.
Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock and the voice of demigod Maui, and Auli’i Cravalho, the Hawaii-born actress who is the voice of Moana, were among the first to see the design when the plane was revealed.

The art re-imagines each aircraft as a modern-day voyaging canoe, flying Moana, Maui, and their friends to new and exciting destinations.
“At Hawaiian Airlines, we are modern navigators, carrying guests across vast oceans to experience the unparalleled beauty of our home and richness of our culture,” said Peter Ingram, chief commercial officer for Hawaiian Airlines.

“In important ways, Moana‘s voyage of discovery parallels that of our guests’ own travel adventures, and we’re pleased to work with Disney to take this wonderful story to the skies.”
The planes will fly on Hawaiian’s US domestic routes and international destinations including Auckland, Brisbane, Osaka, Sydney and Tokyo until March 2017.
