MONTREAL — Air Canada is giving a sneak peak of its new limited-run in-flight safety video, produced in collaboration with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Canada.
A global first for both companies, the full video – shot by Canadian film director Melanie Chung – will appear onboard approximately 90% of Air Canada’s fleet this July through September. It will include special nods to Walt Disney World Resort attractions and experiences, building on previous collaborations between the two companies including a Disney-themed Maple Leaf Lounge children’s room and a Disney and Pixar’s ‘Turning Red’ special livery.
“Family is at the centre of why so many us travel. Over the last few years, we’ve been focused on improving the Air Canada family travel experience with family-friendly policies, family check-in counters, and shared family benefits in our Aeroplan loyalty program,” said Andy Shibata, Vice President – Brand, Air Canada. “As we reflected on opportunities to bring more care and comfort to the family travel experience, we were inspired to add a little magic to everyone’s trip with the help of Disney. Our new in-flight safety video encourages travellers of all ages to learn about the safety features of our aircraft in a new and engaging way.”
Marlie Morrison, Managing Director – Marketing & Sales Canada & APAC, The Walt Disney Company (Canada) Ltd., added: “This history of collaboration with Air Canada is a testament to the level of creativity and shared focus on families, which I think is further demonstrated by this being a global-first video for Disney Parks and Resorts. For many years, Canada has been one of Walt Disney World Resort’s largest international markets and as Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada has brought so many of our guests to the magic.”
