TruWest Airlines Flight 462

TruWest Airlines Flight 462 is a commercial jet aircraft featured in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462.

Design
Flight 462 is a narrow-body twin engine jet airliner, most likely an Airbus A320, matching both its appearance and layout. It appears to be white in color with red markings.

Background
Flight 462 was first seen at Los Angeles International Airport preparing to depart for Phoenix, Arizona. Despite news that claimed flights were being grounded, the plane managed to take off with full passengers and crew.

During the plane's final descent into Phoenix, a passenger on board died suddenly. At the same time, all of Phoenix (including its airport) experienced a massive blackout, forcing the plane to return to Los Angeles. Shortly afterward, the dead passenger reanimated as a zombie, attacking a flight attendant and biting her. The plane's air marshal managed to lock the undead passenger in the lavatory as the plane turned around. The other passengers tried to get the pilot to land the plane immediately, but were informed that the lights were going out across every major nearby city, and that there was nowhere to land. Distraught, the undead passenger's wife opened the lavatory door, only to be attacked and killed by her infected husband. As the passengers began to panic, the air marshal attempted to shoot the undead passenger but was subsequently knocked to the ground. Another passenger managed to kill the infected passenger before he killed the air marshal, but then they discover that one of the marshal's bullets had pierced a window. Moments later, as dawn broke, the window exploded and the plane began to depressurize. The remaining passengers rushed to get to their seats as the plane began to lose control.

The fates of Flight 462, its passengers, and its crew are ultimately unknown, though the plane presumably crashed somewhere off the coast of California.
