EVA Air is set to expand its operations in the United States with a new route connecting Taiwan to Dallas/Fort Worth, starting this October. This marks the first time since 2000 that an airline has initiated such a connection. The expansion aims to cater to increasing demand from business travelers.
The new service will feature direct flights from Taipei Taoyuan International Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Flights are scheduled for Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Sun Chia-Ming, President of EVA Air, noted that while cargo flights have been landing in Dallas since 1998, recent economic growth has prompted the introduction of passenger services.
"The opening of the Dallas direct passenger route makes us the only airline in Asia to operate two routes to Texas," said Sun Chia-Ming. He emphasized the convenience offered by connecting through one of the world's busiest airports.
