Oceanic Airlines

Not to be confused with Ocean Sky UK, a defunct private jet charter company.

Oceanic Airlines, and less frequently, Oceanic Airways, is the name of a fictional airline used in several films and television programs—typically works that feature plane crashes and other aviation disasters, with which a real airline would prefer not to be associated.^[1] Fortune magazine has compared its prevalence to that of 555 telephone numbers.^[2] The first appearance was in the 1965 two-part episode "The Ditching" of the television series Flipper. Appearances since include the 1996 film Executive Decision, the 2004–2010 television series Lost, and the 2011 video game Dead Island.^[1]
