All those who worship at the temple of the mouth-less cat… Rejoice! EVA Air is preparing a new Hello Kitty Jet!

According to Airlineroute.net, Kitty-Chan’s 777-300ER will be flying from Taipei to Los Angeles on the following schedule:
First Flight: BR012 DEPART TPE 16:40 ARRIVE LAX 14:05 18th Sept 13 ONLY BR001 DEPART LAX 01:35 ARRIVE TPE 05:50+1 19th Sept 13 ONLY Booked Equipment: Boeing 777-300ER "Hello Kitty" Jet From 20th September 2013 BR016 DEPART TPE 23:55 ARRIVE LAX 21:20 Wednesday Friday and Sunday BR015 DEPART LAX 01:55 ARRIVE TPE 06:10+1 Monday, Thursday and Saturday Timetable subject to variation from 1st October. Booked Equipment: Boeing 777-300ER "Hello Kitty" Jet
Of course, equipment swaps can (and do) happen. Plan accordingly!
Hello Kitty has appeared on five of EVA Air’s Airbus A330 fleet so far, and the president of EVA Air has been threatening to paint a 777-300ER for sometime. Looks like he’s making good on the promise.
What exactly the Hello Kitty 777-300ER will look like… that’s a good question. For now, cast your eyes at http://evakitty.evaair.com/en to see what EVA Air and Kitty-Chan have been up to so far…
Of course, those who want to avoid Hello Kitty… you now know when to travel… 😉 I’ll be keeping an eye on this cute jet as it comes along…
But this gives me the excuse to run this photo… again.

Isn’t the ‘Hello Kitty’ portion of the TPE terminal bad enough ? Flying SFO-TPE soon and if I’m on a ‘Hello Kitty’ plane, I’m going all DB Cooper and will jump out over the Pacific somewhere (parachute not needed).
