EVA AIR – With 5 Stars to Asia

EVA Airways was founded in March 1989 as subsidiary of the Evergreen Group. The one-hundred-percent privately owned Taiwanese airline is the sister company of Evergreen Marine Corporation, one of the five biggest container shipping companies in the world. Since the inauguration of its maiden flight on 1 July 1991, EVA AIR has been steadily expanding its operation network and fleet. The airline serves more than 60 destinations on four continents (Europe, Asia, America and Oceania) and offers a far-reaching service network that benefits both passengers and cargo customers. The airline´s fleet comprises 88 aircraft, most of which are Airbus and Boeing.
Through its membership in Star Alliance since June 2013, EVA AIR offers its customers access to a global network of more than 1.300 destinations, along with seamless travel and status recognition within the various member carrier frequent flyer programmes.

EVA AIR – among the best and safest airlines worldwide
With a focus on quality service and safety in international operations, EVA AIR has received many honors, awards and accolades from international business and leisure travelers, industry experts and opinion leaders for three decades, most notably the coveted five stars of SKYTRAX five times in a row. In addition, EVA AIR has ranked among the safest airlines in the world for many years in the safety rankings.
EVA AIR has also proved its spirit of innovation: with the introduction of its Premium Economy Class (formerly Evergreen Deluxe Class or Elite Class), an additional class between Business and Economy Classes, the company has set a milestone in the entire aviation industry as early as 1992.

For 30 years from Taipei to Vienna
Since its maiden flight on 11 November 1991 EVA AIR has continuously been flying the route Taipei – Bangkok – Vienna and has positioned itself most successfully on the Austrian and Central- and Eastern European markets.

The EVA AIR Dreamliner with two classes
A Boeing 787-9 “Dreamliner” is operated on the Vienna route, designed for 304 passengers in two classes – with 26 seats in Royal Laurel Class and 278 seats in Economy Class.
Currently – November 2021 – only cargo flights are operated between Taipei and Vienna.

Enhanced Cabin comfort, environmentally friendly technologies
The Boeing 787 is equipped with an advanced air filtration system that improves cabin air. The 787 fuselage is made of a combination of composite materials that make it more airtight. Compared with other commercial jets, the 787’s cabin humidity can be increased as much as three-to-four times, eliminating the drying inflight atmosphere. The aircraft’s cabin pressure can also be controlled to make the altitude feel like the optimal 6,000 ft. instead of the standard 8,000 ft., boosting passengers’ blood-oxygen levels and reducing headaches and fatigue. Newly designed engine housings significantly reduce noise and give passengers quieter, more comfortable inflight environments.

Technologies used to build the Boeing 787 Dreamliner make the aircraft more environmentally efficient. It is constructed of lighter composite materials such as carbon fibre and more than 50% of the aircraft’s total weight comes from these materials, including the fuselage, wings and engine blades. Compared to traditional aluminium alloy fuselage construction, these advanced materials significantly decrease the aircraft’s overall weight and likelihood of metal fatigue or corrosion, reducing maintenance costs. Replacing fluorescent tubes with LED lights shrinks power demand by almost half.

GE’s advanced GEnx engines reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, compared to power systems on traditional wide-body aircraft. The 787-9’s high fuel efficiencies and range capabilities equip EVA to further enhance operational performances.
