Southwest Airlines may have reported disappointing load factors and passenger numbers for September, with the outlook looking equally negative, the carrier is still brightening up the skies!


The low-cost airline celebrates Disney/Pixar's all-new, big-screen adventure "Coco" in super high-flying style this autumn that with a comprehensive promotional program including a Boeing 737-700 aircraft emblazoned with the vibrant "Coco" logo and artwork inspired by the film. 

This wonderful and vibrant liveried aircraft will fly to many destinations on the airlines' vast network throughout the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean through the end of 2017.  "Coco," the film opens in across US cinemas on 22nd November this year. "Coco" is about a boy with big dreams and a strong connection to his family," says Director Lee Unkrich. "These themes really lend themselves to teaming up with a company like Southwest. And after working for nearly six years to bring this story to life, we were all so excited to see "Coco" on the side of an aeroplane."
