Eva Air to launch non-stop flights between Taipei and Washington, D.C. in June

With this new route, EVA Air’s North American network will grow to include 10 gateways, two of which will feature the new fourth-generation Premium Economy class and increase the total weekly flights to 98.

This makes EVA Air the airline with the most destinations and the largest flight network from Taiwan to North America. The Taiwanese carrier connects Taipei to Anchorage, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver.

“North America has long been a key strategic market for EVA Air,” said EVA Air President Clay Sun. “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.”

The Taipei–Washington, D.C. route will be operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft featuring a three-class configuration: Royal Laurel Class, Economy Class, and the new fourth-generation Premium Economy Class.

EVA Air’s Premium Economy class offers the industry’s largest seat pitch, elevating the design concept from an “upgraded economy” standard to a “business-class-like” experience. The airline aims to offer a refined, comfortable cabin experience, further strengthening its comprehensive three-class service offerings. The flight schedule is as follows:

“We extend a warm welcome to EVA Air and their new service to Washington Dulles International Airport,” said Chryssa Westerlund, executive Vice president and Chief revenue officer of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. “This flight is estimated to generate more than $61 million in annual economic impact to the U.S. National Capital region. Today’s announcement supports Washington Dulles’ position as the international gateway to Washington, D.C.”

For Taiwanese travellers, Eva Air has launched a new group tour service, “9-Day Eastern U.S. Highlights,” in collaboration with leading travel agencies, leveraging its Washington, D.C. route alongside its New York service. The itinerary connects Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, the Amish countryside, Atlantic City, and New York City, offering a seamless way to experience the U.S. East Coast.
