Oceanic Airlines is a fictional airline used in several films and television programs. It is not to be confused with the real airlines Trans-Oceanic Airways and Ocean Airlines. The portrayal of Oceanic Airlines as an accident-prone company has become something of an inside joke in the television and film industries. Popular television review website Television Without Pity, for example, sold a set of limited edition shirts and messenger bags branded with an Oceanic Airlines logo and the slogan, "Getting halfway there is all the fun!" The airline's motto in the ABC television series Lost is especially apt for an accident-prone airline: "Taking you places you've never imagined!" In Lost, Oceanic Airlines is branded with a highly-stylized logo depicting an Aboriginal dot painting that resembles a bullseye or an island. The show's storyline begins with the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 on a mysterious island. But the airline has been portrayed in many other forms. Producers of the 1996 film Executive Decision shot extensive footage of an actual Boeing 747 painted with another fictional Oceanic logo and livery. This stock footage has been reused in several films and television programs, spreading the Oceanic Airlines brand across various and unrelated fictional universes. (more)
