Eva Air Hello Kitty-themed livery

INTRODUCED 2005

AIRCRAFT A330, B777

INFO Eva Air’s “Hello Kitty” aircraft has become synonymous with the airline. The iconic branding has drawn a loyal following since it has become part of the carrier’s fleet since 2005, but for the uninitiated, expect to find the cute little feline everywhere – from the cushions in economy to the tableware in business class.
