Eva Air Unveils Hello Kitty Besties Jet
EVA
Air prepared exclusive commemorative gifts for every passenger on board
the first flight, and the aircraft will continue to serve this route departing
from Chicago every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday during the summer
schedule, and Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in winter.
There
was a special ceremony last evening at Chicago O'Hare International Airport to
witness the Hello Kitty® Besties Jet arrival BR56 from Taipei, which
was greeted by a water salute, followed by a reception with live music.
"Chicago is
a vital leisure and commercial hub in the United States, and we're excited
to launch Hello Kitty Besties Jet on the Chicago-Taipei route. Our
Hello Kitty jets have earned a range of awards and accolades, and we look
forward to continuing to deliver the exceptional care and high standards our
passengers have come to expect when flying with EVA Air," said EVA
President Clay Sun.
From
the moment passengers step aboard the Hello Kitty® Besties Jet, they will
be immersed in a sweet and joyful atmosphere, surrounded by Hello Kitty® elements
throughout the cabin. The plane will have both interior and exterior designs of
the beloved Sanrio characters, including Hello Kitty, My Melody, and the
popular character Kuromi. There will also be specially designed headrests and
custom-designed place settings during the meal service. Hello Kitty® Besties
Jet design is crafted with the vision that every passenger can embark on a
journey with their loved ones, exploring the world together and creating
unforgettable memories along the way with EVA Air.
EVA
Air will now have four routes that feature Hello Kitty Jets. Hello Kitty® Besties
Jet will be flying the Chicago route (U.S.). BAD BADTZ-MARU Travel
Fun will be flying the Clark route (Philippines) while Celebration
Flight and Joyful Dream will alternate on the Bali and Cebu routes (Indonesia & Philippines).
As an added treat for the travelers flying on the other days of the week for
these Special Livery Jets, the in-cabin amenities will remain the same Hello
Kitty theme so they can still have a Hello Kitty experience on board an EVA
plane.

The
EVA Air North America route operates 87 flights per week, making it one of the
leading Asian carriers with the highest capacity for Trans-pacific routes.
Their extensive network across Asia ensures easy access to a wide
range of destinations, making it a breeze to explore the continent via their
hub in Taipei, one of the easiest transit airports in Asia. Whether
you're traveling to vibrant cities like Tokyo, serene destinations
like Bali, or cultural hubs like Bangkok, EVA Air provides the
perfect gateway to Asia, making your journey as enjoyable as the
destination.
