From the part of the UK I am in you can fly: TUI Airways UK (Charter airline) Virgin Atlantic (Full service) Aer Lingus UK (English part of the Irish flag carrier) TUI is a tour company and has Disney package holidays, something very European and so dose Virgin Atlantic’s sub division Virgin Atlantic holidays. Virgin Atlantic being 49% Delta owned 51% Virgin group.
I think it would work out for Disney to do this, but also have a hub at SNA as well as orlando. And maybe operate a flight or two to Toronto and Vancouver to access the Canadian audience
I don't know, lovely idea, but to mix family fun and characters with the stressful environment that is domestic US air travel, sounds like it could annoying pretty damn quick. I think they could dellve back into airline partnerships and offer special disney-themed flights to/from Orlando, much like EVA has done with their Hello Kitty flights. It would be very difficult given how huge the domestic scene is in the states, that disney-themed plane might need to be deployed elsewhere at short notice, but its worth a shot.
There was once an operational runway on Disney property back in the days when Disney himself was planning things - had that continued things could have been different and Disney might have had its own airport, bypassing the need to transport guests to and from MCO and keeping guests on property.
I actually agree with you, and you do make great points. Although i would probably have it as a subbrand/partner to an existing airline. Have a Disney brand & all that jazz as your airline, but it's run by a United or Detla.
That could work - have the airline experts manage operations, then Disney handles the aircraft/cabin design & passenger experience aspect. Not sure United or Delta would be too into the idea though - as they're pretty focused on maintaining their premium/luxury image at the moment. Might be better to just hire some veterans from one of those companies to handle operations and just go to town on the theming
Partnering with a breeze or avelo first maybe the best way before completing becoming Disney Air maybe the easiest route. I believe breeze has a SNA-MCO flight. The target customer would have to be the Disney fan/group that would want to package everything together, especially if they're not already loyal to an airline. PS: if Disney were to partner/take over an existing airline, I'd imagine they could leave the existing team to run the airline which would leave Disney to handle the marketing.
The Disney-to-Disney flights do sound pretty epic although I'll bet it's a pretty niche crowd - probably why Breeze is only going to operate it 3x per week, at least at first
I could see this... but it also brings into question: Would other packaged based holiday companies start airlines too, for example: Royal Caribbean Airlines?
Heck no! Nobody in their right mind should be in the airline business LOL! It's one of the most cut throat industries there is where it's really difficult to turn a profit. For many major airlines, their loyalty programs are worth more than the company itself! If I were to join an industry, despite how much I love it, I would avoid airlines!
It’ll never happen…the airline industry is incredibly volatile, always has been, super high costs, small profit margins, there’s a reason why hundreds of airlines have gone bankrupt since the Deregulation Act of 1978. Every once in a blue moon the industry will get a very prolific entrepreneur like David Neeleman who have a long track record of founding successful airlines which stayed in business (he founded JetBlue, Breeze, WestJet and Azul Brazil, as well as Morris Air, which was the first to introduce e-tickets, that airline was sold to Southwest for that technology). But without someone like him, Disney will never take that risky of a gamble.
Jamais seria um negócio vantajoso para a Disney ter uma companhia área com sua imagem e nome porque basta um avião cair cheio de famílias e crianças para destruir a imagem da empresa para sempre, o que a Disney poderia fazer se quisesse muito era comprar uma participação em uma empresa área já consolidada em Orlando
Could you imagine a Disney airline operating an MCO to SNA flight package complete with a coast-to-coast park hopper ticket?
SNA to MCO would probably have to be weight restricted due to the short runway at SNA…
Nice video bruv 👍
nah bro imagine Disney having a plane crash on their records
I’d want their record to be as good as Qantas!
Deserved for what they did to club penguin
You could say they same if one of their cruise ships sink

they would def use in flight tv screens with exclusive disney tv shows or movies
How would they get to Disney world from MCO? Magical express is gone, would they launch a new service just for Disney airlines passengers?

Fascinating - that would have been a huge differentiator

@@flaps1019 I believe breeze operate most, if not all, of their flights a few days a week.
Disney should first have a chat with Hooters and let Hooters tell them how that novel idea ended.
Hooters and Disney are apples and oranges in companies.

TUI operates both flights and cruise ships in Europe.

No they should not.
No
Their planes would be bad
Hell muthafukin no
😂
If it’s going to be woke and DEI, then stay away from this airline.
