Virgin Australia Unveils Toy Story 5‑Liveried Boeing 737

The move is timed to the film’s mid‑June release to drive family engagement and loyalty through in‑flight experiences and prizes.

Overview

  • The airline revealed a custom-painted Boeing 737-800 featuring Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie as its first co‑branded livery in almost a decade.
  • A coordinated campaign begins in early June with Toy Story 5 giveaways and colouring packs from June 1 and a themed in‑flight game on domestic services from June 15 to July 19.
  • Passengers will see expanded Toy Story content in the in‑flight entertainment system, special Velocity Frequent Flyer member screenings, and a competition offering a Pixar‑themed trip to Tokyo.
  • Virgin Australia will introduce 'Toy Tickets' so children can request personalised boarding passes for their soft toys, an idea inspired by a reunion of a lost teddy on a previous flight.
  • The partnership with The Walt Disney Company Australia positions the airline to use nostalgia and family-focused experiences to boost brand goodwill and engagement across its domestic network.
