BR - Bye Bye Kitty, Hello Panda

BR is going to use a 747-400 Combi to ship the pandas from Chengdu to TPE on 23 December.

http://www.evaair.com/html/b2c/Chine...ws200812190001 is their news release in Chinese - including pictures of the meal.

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiw.../18/2003431381 has a story on how they were going to sell tickets on the flight but stopped after complaints from animal rights groups. Strange thing is it sounds it still will carry a lot of passengers.

http://news.chinatimes.com/2007Cti/2...0852+0,00.html has a Chinese article on related stories

http://video.chinatimes.com/video-ca...?cid=1&nid=301 has a video on the story - including inside view of the plane
