Spirit Airlines today unveiled its specially-themed Airbus A321 that features a larger-than-life image of the beloved Disney character Dumbo. The airline known for inspiring its Guests to take to the skies, is teaming up with Disney to celebrate the upcoming release of its live-action movie โ€œDumbo,โ€ director Tim Burtonโ€™s all-new take on the classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished, and dreams take flight.

Dedicated to everyoneโ€™s favorite flying elephant known for inspiring many to soar to new heights, Spirit and Disney revealed the new plane with a time-lapse video of the decal wrapping process which took place at Spiritโ€™s state-of-the-art Detroit maintenance hangar.

The plane will join Spiritโ€™s growing Fit Fleet of 132 aircraft, one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient in the country. The plane takes off today from Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) to Orlando International Airport (MCO). Guests traveling between Detroit, Orlando, San Juan, Fort Lauderdale, and Baltimore/Washington will have the chance to fly with โ€œDumboโ€ on the first three days of service. The aircraft will then travel across the country for the next two months, celebrating the movieโ€™s release on March 29, 2019.

โ€œAs Floridaโ€™s Hometown Airline, we are excited to bring the magic of โ€˜Dumboโ€™ to our fleet,โ€ said Bobby Schroeter, Spirit Airlinesโ€™ Vice President of Sales & Marketing. โ€œThe themes in Disneyโ€™s โ€˜Dumboโ€™ align with Spiritโ€™s mission to inspire our Guests and families to take flight with the best value in the sky. This special addition to our fleet is another opportunity to surprise and delight our valued Guests and showcase Spiritโ€™s fun, friendly service.โ€

As the โ€œDumboโ€ plane takes flight, Spirit also gave away a trip to the โ€œDumboโ€ world premiere in Los Angeles. One Guest who entered Spiritโ€™s online sweepstakes* won the grand prize, including four tickets to the movie premiere, four roundtrip tickets to Los Angeles on Spirit, and a 2-night hotel stay.
