The new Hello Kitty jet launched by EVA Air in collaboration with Sanrio is flying from Taipei to 8 locations, including Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

The jets are covered with an image of the Hello Kitty.

EVA Air Chairman KW Chang says he initiated the jets “to make flying fun, and passengers love them.”

The company says that the experience “begins at airport check-in with Hello Kitty boarding passes and baggage stickers.”

“Flight attendants on the special-livery jets wear pink aprons with Hello Kitty designs and passengers are treated to ”more than 100 in-flight service items including headrest covers, pillows, tissue, hand cream, liquid hand soap, napkins, paper cups, utensils, snacks and meals.”

There are different versions of Hello Kitty jets, including Loves Apple, Speed Puff, and Magic Stars/Around the World.

Out of Taipei, the jets are flying to Seoul, Guam, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Sapporo.
