EVA Air has announced the launch of its newest Hello Kitty® Besties Jet on Boeing 777-300 B-16722. The jet departed its inaugural flight BR55 on August 29, 2024, from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and is en route to Taiwan Taoyuan Intl (TPE).
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.
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 Baliand 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.
