Disney's Duffy bear takes to the skies with China Eastern Airlines

A new aircraft depicting Duffy and Friends took off on its maiden flight in mid-August, in celebration of the upcoming Duffy Month at Shanghai Disney Resort this September.

The Duffy Friendship Express, flying from Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, to Shanghai, marks the fourth Disney-themed aircraft to join China Eastern Airlines' fleet as part of its partnership with Shanghai Disney Resort.

The move follows the unveiling of the popular Disney Pixar Toy Story Land-themed Toy Story Happy Holiday Express, which was launched last spring.
