The newly decaled Boeing 777 will fly the direct route between Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles.
Abu Dhabi is a key location for "Furious 7." Over the course of two weeks in April 2014, the team filmed in areas outside Abu Dhabi in the Liwa Desert, as well as in the city center at such locations as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace hotel, the Yas Marina F1 race circuit and the Etihad Towers.
“We are pleased to work together with Universal, an organization which shares that same spirit of innovation and reimagination when it comes to the world of entertainment, to unveil our newly decaled Boeing 777 aircraft in support of the Fast & Furious franchise, and
'Furious 7' which premieres next month and highlights our airline’s home of Abu Dhabi,” Peter Baumgartner, chief commercial officer of Etihad Airways, said in a statement released on Thursday.
“When we began filming 'The Fast and the Furious' in 2000, if you told me that we would one day have our logo on a wide-body jet, I would have said you were crazy,” quipped producer Neal H. Moritz, who has shepherded all seven films in the series.
The Fast & Furious decal will remain on the plane for the next four to six months.
