Flying the Sanrio Skies

Love Hello Kitty?? This might be the flight for you.
"TAIPEI, TAIWAN (March, 2012) -- EVA Air will begin serving two more gateways with its Hello Kitty Jets on May 23, 2012. The airline will use two of its new character-themed Airbus 330-300s on its Taipei Songshan - Tokyo Haneda and Songshan – Shanghai Hongqiao routes. EVA is also hard at work with Sanrio to give two Airbus 330-200s colorful Hello Kitty Jet makeovers, which will give the airline five of the cheerfully painted second-generation aircraft and enable more passengers to enjoy Hello Kitty flights.
EVA launched the Magic Jet, Apple Jet and Global Jet late last year to enthusiastic response from passengers and fans worldwide. The first of the transformed A330-200s will be initiated on May 23 and the second on June 22, 2012. During the one-month interval, the airline will temporarily serve its Taipei Taoyuan/Tokyo Narita (BR2198/2197) and Taipei Taoyuan/Hong Kong (BR857/858) routes with aircraft clad in standard EVA livery.
On the new Hello Kitty Jet route between close-in Taipei Songshan and Tokyo Haneda, the themed aircraft will make two trips a day, flights BR192/BR191 and BR190/189. Hello Kitty Jet service from Songshan to close-in Shanghai Hongqiao, flights BR772/771, will offer 6 flights a week except Tuesday. With these additions, EVA’s Hello Kitty Jets will be operating from two Taipei airports, Taoyuan and Songshan, two Tokyo airports, Narita and Haneda, Fukuoka, Hokkaido, Shanghai’s Hongqiao, Guam, Seoul’s Incheon International Airport and Hong Kong."
