Taipei, Nov. 19 (CNA) Taiwan's China Airlines (CAL) on Wednesday unveiled the country's first Disney-themed aircraft, featuring a special livery and onboard items with characters from the upcoming animated film Zootopia 2.

At the unveiling ceremony at Taoyuan International Airport, CAL Chairman Kao Shing-hwang (高星潢) said the plane will primarily serve the Taoyuan-Los Angeles route, but will also be deployed on flights to Bangkok, Tokyo, Osaka, and Ontario, California.

The plane's maiden flight with its new look is scheduled to depart Taoyuan for Los Angeles at 4:55 p.m. Wednesday, according to CAL.

In addition to the exterior, items such as headrest covers and snack packaging also feature Zootopia 2 characters.

CAL President Kevin Chen (陳漢銘) said the special livery will be in service for six months and that further collaborations with Disney are planned as the carrier seeks to appeal to a younger air-travel market.

Zootopia 2 will be released in Taiwan on Nov. 26, according to Disney.
