Oceanic Airlines, Oceanic Airways or Oceanic Air is an airline company most prominent in Lost but featured in several other media. The various media that Oceanic Airlines appear in do not have a connection with each other, the airline company is mostly used as a nod to Lost or appears due to the reuse of stock footage.

Overview

Before Lost, the most prominent use of Oceanic Airways was in the 1996 film Executive Decision. The film's producers shot extensive footage of two actual Boeing 747s with Oceanic Airways logo and livery (but not the same logo used later on Lost). This stock footage has been reused in several films and television programs, spreading the Oceanic Airlines brand across various otherwise unrelated fictional universes.

Appearances

Executive Decision

Oceanic Flight 343 from Athens to Washington, D.C. was hijacked by a terrorist. Stock footage from this film was used in X Files, JAG, Diagnosis Murder, and The War at Home.

Castle

Richard and Alexis Castle fly on Oceanic Air in "In Plane Sight".

Category 6: Day of Destruction

Stock footage from Executive Decision was used in the film.

A part of a Oceanic Air plane wreckage can be seen in the spaceship graveyard in the Möbius Dick episode of Futurama.

The Goldbergs

In the episode "The President's Fitness Test", Barry falls in love with Erica's French Pen Pal, who comes visiting. When she leaves, Barry follows her to the airport, to Oceanic Airlines' terminal. The logos for the airline are different from the traditional, but that may be accounted for by The Goldbergs being set back in the early to mid 1980s.

Stock footage from Executive Decision was used in "Vanished".

Lost

The show explores the aftermath of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815.
