“Outstanding Customized Service” and Hello Kitty Jets lauded.
LOS ANGELES – EVA Air and its Hello Kitty Jets have won a special Global Traveler magazine Leisure Lifestyle Award for Outstanding Customized Service, recognizing the airline for “going beyond what is expected” and “doing something extraordinary.” The magazine presented the award at a glamorous poolside event in Los Angeles on May 19, 2016. Travelers can learn more about EVA, its extraordinary service and Hello Kitty Jets, book and buy tickets, select seats and, with business class tickets, order meals before departure at evaair.com.
EVA makes quality service and safety priorities throughout all of its operations and enhances its products with creativity and innovation. The airline initiated its Hello Kitty Jets program in 2005 and flew two specially painted Airbus 330-200s on regional and short-range routes within Asia until 2008 when the program ended. It launched its second generation of the themed aircraft in 2011 and now operates seven of the popular planes:
- two long-range Boeing 777-300ERs on trans-Pacific and transcontinental routes, the EVA Hello Kitty Shining Star and Hand-in-Hand Jets and
- five short-range Airbuses for regional and short-range flights, the EVA Hello Kitty Magic, Apple, Global, Happy Music and Speed Puff Jets.
EVA is frequently honored, awarded and recognized by passengers, media, industry experts and organizations worldwide. Global Traveler readers singled out the airline for two awards in December 2015, Best Airport Staff/Gate Agents and Best Airline for New Service Launch.
