Disney

Air Canada is bringing Disney+ originals to the skies through its in-flight entertainment (IFE) system in the latest collaboration between the airline and Disney.

The collaboration is part of Air Canada’s investment in its “family-focused travel experience,” said a news release, and will see Disney+ originals such as the first three episodes of Loki from season one and Obi-Wan Kenobi board its roster of IFE content.

A selection of episodes from Limitless with Chris Hemsworth, Cars on the Road and Zootopia+, and movies such as Disenchanted and Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, will also be available, among other content, starting this month.

The deal builds on Air Canada’s previous Disney collaborations, including the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida-themed inflight safety video and Disney-Pixar’s Turning Red special livery, according to the release.
