EVA Airways Corporation (Chinese: 長榮航空)
(TWSE: 2618), of which "EVA" stands for Evergreen Airways, is one of
the two largest airlines in Taiwan – the other being China Airlines. It
operates passenger and dedicated cargo services to over 40 international destinations
in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. In contrast to the state-owned
flag carrier China Airlines, EVA Air is privately owned and flies a fully
international route network with no domestic destinations. It is rated as a
5-star airline by Skytrax, and is the second largest airline based in Taiwan
after China Airlines. EVA Air is headquartered at Taoyuan International Airport
in Luzhu, Taoyuan City. The company slogan is "Sharing the World, Flying
Together" (分享世界，比翼雙飛).
In October 2005, EVA Air launched a campaign with Japanese company Sanrio to
create the "Hello Kitty Jet," featuring the popular Japanese
character. Using the airline's A330-200, the exterior adopted a livery of Hello
Kitty characters. A year later, the airline launched a second Hello Kitty Jet.
The aircraft featured a Hello Kitty motif on exterior and interior furnishings
and features. Both aircraft were used to serve Japanese destinations, and from
mid–July 2007, also Taipei-Hong Kong routes. The original Hello Kitty livery
was retired in 2009, but in 2011 EVA Air announced its return in redesigned
form to mark the carrier's 20th anniversary and renew interest in Japanese
tourism. For this occasion, EVA Air had ordered brand-new Airbus A330-300s to
be painted in an all-new Hello Kitty livery, which the first three were the
Hello Kitty with Magic Stars, Hello Kitty Loves Apples, and Hello Kitty Around
the World.
After the introduction of the "refreshed" Hello Kitty Livery on three
EVA Air A330s, EVA Air decided to introduce two additional Hello Kitty A330
jets, launched in May and June 2012. The fourth and fifth Hello Kitty jets are
known as Hello Kitty Speed Puff and Hello Kitty Happy Music respectively. In
2013, the carrier rolled out its sixth Hello Kitty jet Hand in Hand, this time
on a Boeing 777-300ER, until it was repainted into the new EVA Air livery in
May 2021. The aircraft featured all the main characters from the Sanrio family.
In 2015, the seventh and final Hello Kitty jet, Kikilala-themed Shining Star
Boeing 777-300ER, rolled out.
