It seems EVA Air is chopping and changing some routes the Hello Kitty Jets are operating on, with Hong Kong and New Chitose Airport (Sapporo) in Hokkaido in Japan.
Sadly, Speed Puff will not be speeding to Hong Kong or Tokyo Nartia much longer…
The (non) magical flights and dates
- From 7th December 2015 BR116 (TPE-CTS) and BR115 (CTS-TPE) between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and New Chitose Airport (Sapporro)
- From 26th December 2015, BR857 (TPE-HKG) and BR858 (HKG-TPE) between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Hong Kong International Airport
- From 26th December 2015, BR198 (TPE-NRT) and BR197 (NRT-TPE) between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Hong Kong International Airport
From these dates, these flights will be operated by normal EVA Air services, with no sign of Hello Kitty, service items and meal items.
The Tokyo Narita service and Hong Kong International service will be operated with Hello Kitty Speed Puff up to its transformation back into a normal service, and New Chitose Airport (Sapporo) will be operated by Hello Kitty Happy Music.
For those of you who still want to fly EVA Air with Hello Kitty, she’s plying routes between Taipei and the rest of the world in a handy Hello Kitty sized map at http://evakitty.evaair.com/en/FlightRoutes.aspx
(Editors note: at least they turned off the aut0-playing music on that website. It did drive yours truly rather potty).
