Oceanic Airlines
Oceanic Airlines, and less frequently, Oceanic Airways, is the name of a fictional airline used in several films, television programs, and comic books—typically works that feature plane crashes and other aviation disasters, with which a real airline would prefer not to be associated. The brand is used prominently in the TV series '' Lost,'' where Oceanic Airlines is featured branded with a highly stylized logo depicting an Australian Aboriginal dot painting that resembles a nazar, a bullseye, an island, or an " O". The show's fictional storyline begins with the crash of an airline flight called Oceanic Flight 815. Airlines with this name have also been featured in other media, starting as early as the 1960s. Before ''Lost,'' the most prominent use of Oceanic Airlines was in the 1996 film ''Executive Decision.'' The film's producers shot extensive footage of two actual Boeing 747s with Oceanic Airlines logo and livery, though not the same logo used later on ''Lost.'' T ...
