Magic at Prince George Airport
WestJet’s Boeing 737-800 has been labeled the Magic Plane because of its special paint job – photos 250News
Prince George, B.C.- it was a treat for many residents of Prince George, catching a view of the special WestJet Walt Disney World themed aircraft.
The Boeing 737-800 arrived this morning on a flight from Vancouver.
Folks parked their vehicles along the Old Cariboo Highway so they could snap a photo of the special craft.
The stop at YXS called for a change in crew, and the new team was not aware they would be flying a special craft back to Vancouver. “I wondered why there were so many people standing around with cameras” says Captain Rob Pretty.
This special craft is part of the WestJet fleet and is meant to be a promotional tool for WestJet vacations and Walt Disney World.
It is integrated into the regular fleet use, so it visits all the places where WestJet flies.
The first folks to board the flight to Vancouver were the Friesens from Vanderhoof ( photo at right).
With a few minutes to refresh the cabin, change the crew, load the passengers and their luggage, the WestJet “magic plane” was soon up, up and away.

How far do they take this theme? Do they serve magic mushrooms as snacks?
Seriously? This story (and the previous) brought to you by WestJet. Where you can pay excessive prices for our holiday packages. But we’ll tell you a joke.
Wow, who would turn up to watch a painted plane? Is this supposed to make us feel better about the new baggage rate increase?
If they didn’t get some press coverage, they wouldn’t have come. This is just about advertising, nothing more, nothing less.
Exactly JB, the plane rotates through the fleet, different routes, nothing more than advertising for Disney and WestJet vacations.
And if you owned a business you would all decline free advertising, right?
That is the point BMW….it’s just advertising, nothing more.
If I owned a business, of course not. But don’t post this a news story, when it’s an obvious advertorial. I know there is more going on in PG on a Saturday than a jet landing and taking off on it’s regular schedule.
Nice for the kids to see the special painted plane. Most of you probably do not have kids and imaginations.
