Hello Kitty is flying in the sky!\nEVA Air makes your flight experience super kawaii

By Li Xinyi, Interview & Report

 

The ultra-kawaii EVA Air Hello Kitty livery plane is back again!\nThe first livery plane, the "Magic Plane," will begin flying the Taipei–Hokkaido route from October 31. Among the three newly launched livery planes, there are over a hundred in-flight items designed with Kitty as the theme—from boarding passes, luggage tags, hand soap, paper cups, and pillows to even the meals, which are made in Hello Kitty patterns. Special ice cream and desserts are so adorable you’ll be reluctant to eat them. Compared to previous EVA Hello Kitty livery planes, this time the painted area is larger and there are more service items for passengers in the cabin.

EVA Air’s Hello Kitty livery planes come in three versions.\nThe first one introduced, the "Magic Plane," features the theme "Hello Kitty with Magic Star." On the fuselage, Kitty is waving a magic wand, and on both sides of the plane are Hello Kitty’s family and friends.\nThe "Magic Plane" was officially unveiled today (the 27th), and its level of cuteness had even airline industry professionals and media personnel snapping photos with it during their breaks. But don’t assume that only young people are drawn to its charm—a pair of silver-haired VIP guests invited by EVA also came to experience the magic of Hello Kitty and took commemorative photos inside the cabin.

This wave of flight magic will be carried by the A330-300 luxury aircraft, newly introduced by EVA, starting October 31. The super-kawaii magic is displayed on the fuselage, cabin seats, meals, amenities, and even the flight attendants’ uniforms, which feature pink aprons. The second livery plane to be introduced is the "Apple Plane," themed around Kitty’s favorite apple; the third is the "Global Plane," based on the design concept of "Hello Kitty Around the World." The "Apple Plane" and "Global Plane" will make their appearances before the end of the year, flying to destinations such as Fukuoka, Tokyo, and Seoul.
