Passengers got an unexpected superhero send-off when Spider-Man appeared in the check-in area after airport staff paged for the mysterious “Peter Parker.”
What started as a routine check-in for a Scoot flight at Melbourne Airport quickly turned into a photo-worthy moment, with surprised travellers, excited kids and families lining up for selfies as Spider-Man greeted passengers before they left for their trips.
Scoot staff members joined in the fun, handing out themed merchandise.
The surprise appearance was part of the budget airline’s collaboration with Sony Pictures to celebrate the upcoming release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, out in Australian cinemas on July 30.
Scoot recently launched Spider-Man: Brand New Day themed aircraft (an Airbus A321neo and a Boeing 787 Dreamliner), now flying routes across Australia, China, Japan, the Philippines and Thailand until September 13.
The themed aircraft are decked out in special decals and headrest covers within its interior and feature music from the upcoming movie.
