Alaska Airlines has unveiled its latest Disneyland resort-themed aircraft ahead of the theme park's 70th anniversary celebration that kicks off next month.

The Boeing 737-800 is named "Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Flyer." While it is the airline's ninth Disneyland-themed aircraft, it is the first to feature a Disney princess, the airline said in a media release.

The new livery first took to the skies from Portland International Airport for Santa Ana, California. Its design pays homage to "The Princess and the Frog" from Walt Disney Animation Studios and the water-based attraction at the park, and took artists more than 2,000 hours to paint, Alaska Airlines said.

"This aircraft captures Princess Tiana’s love for exploration and adventure, inspiring our guests to embrace new possibilities and create memories along the way," Eric Edge, vice president of brand and marketing for Alaska Airlines, said in a statement.

The specially painted plane will fly Alaska Airlines routes for the next several years, the Disney Parks Blog said. Kids onboard will have the option to purchase a special snack pack on the plane beginning this summer. 

It joins others such as "Mickey's Toontown Express," "Star Wars Transport to the Disneyland Resort" and "Friendship and Beyond at the Disneyland Resort," in the Alaska Airlines fleet.
