Virgin Atlantic has just unveiled a new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge aircraft wrap on one of its Boeing 747’s!
The themed plane will transport guests from London Gatwick Airport to Orlando, Florida which is one of two Galaxy’s Edge destinations.
The aircraft has been named “The Falcon” because it showcases Han Solo’s fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. The plane forms part of Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays’ celebrations of SWGE.
Virgin Holidays has also launched “The Ultimate Virgin Holidays Star Wars Experience” along with “The Falcon”. This experience is a themed holiday trip to Walt Disney World on February 15th -22nd, 2020.
Virgin Holidays has also launched a social media competition to celebrate the plane entering flight operations today. The competition encourages members of the public who spot the plane to take a photo and share it on their social media account for a chance to win two seats on board “The Ultimate Virgin Holidays Star Wars Experience”.
Anyone who spot’s “The Falcon” must share a photo on their personal Instagram account and tag both Virgin Holidays and Virgin Atlantic. They must also hashtag #TheFalcon in the photo caption. Entries must be posted by Wednesday, October 9th to be entered to win.
Managing director of Virgin Holidays, Joe Thompson, said, “We are incredibly proud to see ‘The Falcon’ take flight, featuring the iconic Millennium Falcon from the much-loved Star Wars saga, as it wings passengers to experience the thrilling, new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Over the last three decades, we have taken millions of British holiday-makers to enjoy the magic of Disney and we know that so many of our customers have been excited about planning their trip to experience this new land. We hope those lucky enough to board ‘The Falcon’ will enjoy their journey with us, even more.”
The film used to wrap the aircraft could cover four tennis courts and the decal is 44 meters from end to end! The wrap took an entire three weeks to print!
