EVA Air To Operate Hello Kitty Flights To Houston

As I wrote about last week, EVA Air will be expanding their service to North America next summer, as they'll be launching 4x weekly service between Taipei and Houston as of June 2015. This expansion is a no brainer, not just because Houston is a huge oil city, but also because it's United's biggest hub, so there's lots of potential for connecting traffic, now that EVA Air is in the Star Alliance.


So if you were excited about the new route to begin with, take a deep breath and make sure you're sitting down. As it turns out, this new EVA Air flight to Houston will be operated by a Hello Kitty 777-300ER. The most exciting part? They're not even using an existing Hello Kitty 777-300ER (of which there's only one), but rather they're taking delivery of an all new Hello Kitty 777-300ER!!!
