Southwest Airlines and SeaWorld Show that Penguins CAN Fly
Orlando, FL, USA (June 20, 2013) — Southwest Airlines and SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment celebrate 25 years of partnership today with the unveiling of the airline’s newest specialty aircraft, Penguin One—a Boeing 737-700 co-branded with images of one of SeaWorld’s iconic animals — penguins.
Southwest and SeaWorld revealed the aircraft at a ceremony this morning at Orlando International Airport (MCO) with real penguins, Southwest and SeaWorld Employees, community members, and executives, including Southwest Airlines Chairman, President, and CEO Gary Kelly, and SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment President and CEO, Jim Atchison. The plane, filled with Southwest and SeaWorld employees, will be making stops in two other SeaWorld cities, San Antonio and San Diego.
The partnership between the two companies dates back to 1988, which began when SeaWorld opened in San Antonio. Southwest and SeaWorld launched their partnership in a high-flying way—with the introduction of a new Boeing 737, Shamu® One!
The featured penguin species on the aircraft is a gentoo, one of the species found at SeaWorld Orlando’s new Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin. The attraction includes a first-of-its-kind family ride that transports guests into the penguins’ icy world.
