EVA Air Launches New Service Between Washington, D.C., and Taipei

Planning a summer trip to Taipei? Consider booking one of EVA Air’s new flights between Washington, D.C. (IAD), and Taiwan (TPE), with service launching June 26. EVA Air will operate four flights on the route weekly. After the launch, the airline will have the ability to offer nearly 100 weekly routes between Taiwan and North America.

“North America has long been a key strategic market for EVA Air,” said Clay Sun, president, EVA Air. “Following the launch of our Dallas-Fort Worth route last year, which made us the only airline in Asia to serve two destinations in Texas, we are further expanding our U.S. network with nonstop service to Washington, D.C. This strengthens our presence on the East Coast and allows us to better serve one of the nation’s most influential markets, home to the political heart of the U.S. and a high concentration of global enterprises.”

Passengers on the new route will have the option of booking Royal Laurel class, economy class or a new premium-economy class offering, on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The revamped premium-economy class cabin features the largest seat pitch in the industry.

After landing at the EVA Air hub at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, American travelers will then enjoy greater access to a range of other destinations across Asia.
