The Hobbit #2

#2
The Airline of Middle-earth
ZK-OKO B777-319ER Air New Zealand 2013-15

The Hobbit is a film series consisting of three high fantasy adventure films directed by Peter Jackson. Together they act as a prequel to Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. New Zealand's beautiful landscapes again served as the scenery of the "Middle-Earth", and Air New Zealand was again a partner of the series.

This first aircraft was unveiled in November 2012 in time for the release of the first opus The Lord of the Rings: The Desolation of Smaug. The aircraft featured a giant decal of Smaug the dragon.

Tianjao Inner Mongolia

Tianjao Inner Mongolia   天骄内蒙古
Proud Son of Heaven
B-5226 B737-79L Air China Inner Mongolia 2013-

Nèi Měnggu or Inner Mongolia is an autonomous region of the People’s Republic of China with capital Hohhot. This livery was unveiled in late December 2013 when B-5226 officially became the first aircraft registered at the newly-born Inner Mongolia branch of Air China. The inaugural flight was from Hohhot to Beijing. Since 2014 Inner Mongolia operations are no longer a branch in itself but rather a separate company; standard Air China titles were changed to "Air China Inner Mongolia" titles in late 2015; note the other six 738 in the fleet of the branch also carry full corresponding titles.

The livery graphics include an ancient dragon head, horsehair curl patterns as well as abstract flames. The livery as a whole symbolizes local ethnic and geographic characteristics of the region, which is deemed to be "favored by God", hence the other "Proud son of heaven" name given to that scheme.

A special livery featuring Mickey as The Sorcerer's Apprentice, his most famous role. The artwork was directly inspired from the 1940 animated movie Fantasia.

Orlando is served from about 15 Canadian cities by the airline in peak season. Service onboard the Magic Plane included cookies with the shape of Disney characters.
