EVA Air, Sanrio Unveil Hello Kitty Jet

The new Hello Kitty Shining Star jet is painted with Little Twin Stars Kiki and Lala, alongside Hello Kitty and My Melody.

The aircraft also celebrates the 40th anniversary of My Melody and Little Twin Star, and is EVA’s seventh Hello Kitty plane and the second to use a long-range Boeing 777-300ER. EVA has created a different design for each Hello Kitty jet–routes include from Taiwan to Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, China, Guam and Paris.

KW Chang, chairman, EVA Air, was the captain in charge of the inaugural non-stop Taipei-Houston flight on the brand-new, specially-painted Boeing 777-300ER on Friday.  The trip marks the launch of a new flight offering from EVA Air that will eventually run 6 days a week.
