EVA Air has launched a new Hello Kitty Besties Jet, which is on its inaugural flight BR55 from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) for Taiwan Taoyuan International (TPE). This aircraft seems like it will only take that route, alternating days of the week depending on the season.
Everyone on the inaugural flight received commemorative gifts. As mentioned earlier, when the Hello Kitty Besties Jet will be in service depends on the season. It will be available on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday in the summer. Then, during winter, it’ll be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The Hello Kitty elements are all over the exterior and interior of the plane. Since it includes her besties, you’ll also be able to see characters like My Melody and Kuromi. This new Besties plane marks the fourth livery jet from EVA Air that features Sanrio characters.
While the EVA Air collaboration with Sanrio does not seem to be in relation to the anniversary, Sanrio has been celebrating the 50th anniversary of the feline mascot. On August 29, 2024, Build-a-Bear unveiled a new 50th anniversary version of the plush. You can make this at its shops, and it’ll have an iridescent fur color. Other goods that are part of the celebrations include a Licca-chan doll and CASETiFY cases or other phone merchandise.
The EVA Air Hello Kitty livery jet will service the route between Chicago and Taipei.
