EVA Air is set to commence nonstop flights between Taipei and Washington, DC on 26 June, marking a significant expansion of its North American network. The new route will operate four times a week, increasing the airline's total weekly flights to 98 across 10 gateways in North America. This development positions EVA Air as the airline with the most extensive network from Taiwan to North America.
The Taipei-Washington DC route will be serviced by Boeing 787-9 aircraft, featuring Royal Laurel Class, Economy Class, and the newly introduced fourth-generation Premium Economy Class. EVA Air President Clay Sun highlighted the strategic importance of the US market, stating, "This strengthens our presence on the East Coast and allows us to better serve one of the nation's most influential markets."
Washington, DC, a major metropolitan area and economic hub, is expected to generate strong demand for premium air travel. The new service will significantly reduce travel times between Taipei and Washington, DC, and is projected to contribute over $61 million annually to the US National Capital region's economy, according to Chryssa Westerlund, executive vice president of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
Passengers will benefit from seamless connections across Asia via EVA Air's hub at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The airline's partnerships with Star Alliance members and other carriers extend its reach to over 200 destinations throughout the Americas. Tickets for the new route are available for booking on EVA Air's website
