Nevertheless, it's bizarre, almost uncanny, that Oceanic Airlines keeps popping up in totally unrelated stories.

The airline became most famous for its usage on the series ''Series/{{Lost}}'', in which the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 kicks off the plot. In this, Oceanic was given its own logo, livery, and various other elements to make it seem like an actual airline. A ViralMarketing campaign by the show's creators treated the airline as if it was real, creating a website with an immersive fictional backstory, TV ads, and even a phone number, all of which provided clues for fans of the show.
