EVA Air introduced its Hello Kitty Global Jet, the third aircraft in its second-generation series of the character-themed aircraft, on the Taipei – Tokyo route on 26 Dec., 2011. The aircraft is also deployed on Taipei -Hong Kong service. The Global Jet is a heartwarming depiction of Hello Kitty Around the World that represents EVA’s role in bringing destinations closer together. It’s decorated with colorful images of Hello Kitty, her family and friends with some of the world’s best-known landmarks. Smiling down from her lofty perch, Hello Kitty extends an open invitation to join in her world travels.
The other two aircraft in this series are the Magic Jet, launched in October, and the Apple Jet, placed in service in early December.
