Subway introduces flying 180-foot-long footlong

Subway Restaurants debuts a Lightship – the Subway in the Sky – as a capstone to its latest “Eat Fresh” Refresh launch.

Subway in the Sky will take to the skies on September 1, 2023, allowing guests to experience the heights Subway has reached since it began its transformation journey in 2021.

The vessel embodies The Beast, one of the new Deli Hero subs introduced in July that boasts a half pound of its new freshly sliced meat. Underneath the nearly 180-foot-long footlong, Subway transformed the gondola into a floating restaurant that accommodates up to six sandwich lovers per trip.

The Subway in the Sky will stop in cities across the U.S. as it soars through the sky in September, including Kansas City, Atlanta, Orlando, and Miami (flight dates and time subject to change due to weather or other atmospheric conditions).
