Hello Kitty jets: Cutest airplanes ever |

Release time:2013-07-10 Source:admin Reads: | |
Forget the YouTube videos. If you want a real dose of cute cat, book a flight with Taiwan airline EVA Air. The carrier has recently launched three Hello Kitty-themed aircraft, on which everything from the fuselage to the flight attendants to the food is kitted out in the Hello Kitty’s images. Passengers have been purring with delight, according to Anna Wong, an EVA Air public relations officer in Hong Kong. EVA Air spreads the message of love and friendship with Magic Jet, brings the world together with Global Jet and celebrates Hello Kitty's love of apples with Apple Jet.” Many people specify that they want to take EVA's special Hello Kitty jet," said Wong. "The response has been excellent so far." This isn't the first cooperate of Taiwan's second-largest carrier and Japan's comic company, Sanrio, which owns the Hello Kitty brand. The two companies launched the first generation of Hello Kitty jets in 2005. That Kitty fleet was disbanded in 2009, as its licensing agreement expired. The new Taipei-based Hello Kitty jets -- called Apple Jet, Global Jet and Magic Jet -- will operate for at least a year on different routes originating from Taipei. Magic Jet flies to Sapporo and Guam. Apple Jet flies to Seoul and Fukuoka. Global Jet serves Hong Kong and Tokyo. To book, passengers need to check for specific flight codes. The Hello Kitty journey starts with Hello Kitty boarding passes and baggage stickers. Then passengers make their way to you-can't-miss-it gate dedicated to the Hello Kitty flyer. The boarding gate in Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport is pink and features a Hello Kitty playground. On board, more than 100 in-flight items are specially designed with the Hello Kitty motif-- including headrest covers, tissues, paper cups, utensils, milk bottles, snacks, soap dispensers, hand lotion, meals and ice cream. Whatever the dish, fliers get a small piece of Hello Kitty. Passengers can also purchase limited edition duty-free products from flight attendants wearing Hello Kitty printed aprons, such as Hello Kitty-shaped pasta. The Hello Kitty theme can be found on the carrier's new Airbus A330-300s. Each of the new aircraft provides 30 premium laurel class seats (EVA's business class) and 279 economy class seats. |
