“EVA has made ‘safety without compromise’ our priority from the day we were established,” said EVA President Clay Sun. “Even during strict COVID lockdowns, we upheld safety practices and met our high operating standards. This recognition is a credit to the work and commitment of our entire EVA team. It is also an inspiration for all of us to continue to do our best to provide our passengers with the safest and the most comfortable flying experiences possible.”

Now that Taiwan and most countries in Asia have loosed COVID restrictions, EVA is steadily resuming its global schedule and launching services to new gateways, including Milan, Munich and, starting on March 30, Clark International Airport in the Philippines.

“Airlines have incidents every day. Many are aircraft or engine manufacturer issues, not airline operational problems. It is the way the flight crew handles these incidents that determines a good airline from an unsafe one. Our top 20 safest airlines 2023 are always at the forefront of safety innovation, operational excellence, and the launching of new more advanced aircraft like the Airbus A350 (above) and Boeing 787,” said Geoffrey Thomas, Editor-in-Chief, AirlineRatings.com.
