Eastar Jet Puts NMIXX on a Wrapped Plane Flying International Routes Through April 2027
Eastar Jet is now flying a Boeing 737 MAX 8 wrapped with images of all six NMIXX members on routes to Japan, Greater China, Thailand and Vietnam, the airline announced.
NMIXX are taking to the skies. Eastar Jet said on Nov. 13 (KST) that it is flying an aircraft wrapped with images of all six NMIXX members on both sides of the fuselage, and will keep it in service until April 2027, according to The Financial News, Dailian and Point Daily.
The plane, registration HL8717, will fly routes popular with overseas fans, including Japan, Greater China, Thailand and Vietnam. The project is part of a joint marketing campaign with JYP Entertainment for NMIXX's 6th mini album 'Strange Muse'. Fans can follow where it is flying by searching HL8717 on Flightradar24, the airline noted.
The tie-up goes beyond the paint job. Since last month, international passengers have been receiving boarding passes printed with NMIXX images and handwritten messages, the members recorded boarding and landing greetings played on board, and some routes hand out limited-edition photocards, reports say. An Eastar Jet official said the airline wanted NMIXX fans at home and abroad to enjoy meeting the group even while they travel.
