International

New route launches on 26 June with four weekly flights

EVA Air will introduce a new nonstop connection between Taipei and Washington, D.C. beginning 26 June 2026. The airline plans to operate four flights per week, further strengthening its presence in the North American market.

With the addition of Washington, D.C., EVA Air’s North American network will expand to ten gateways, bringing the total number of weekly flights to 98. According to the airline, this development positions EVA Air as the carrier with the most destinations and the largest route network between Taiwan and North America.

“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, 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.”

Boeing 787-9 with new Premium Economy

The Taipei–Washington, D.C. route will be operated using Boeing 787-9 aircraft configured in three classes: Royal Laurel Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. EVA Air’s fourth-generation Premium Economy cabin features an enhanced seat pitch and upgraded design aimed at delivering a comfort level closer to business-class standards.

The flight schedule provides evening departures from Taipei and overnight services from Washington, D.C., enabling convenient onward connections.

Strategic importance of Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C., ranks among the largest metropolitan regions in the United States and serves as a major center for politics, international organisations, and global enterprises. EVA Air expects strong demand from both premium business travel and leisure segments, supported by the city’s extensive cultural and historical attractions.

“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 new nonstop flight will significantly reduce existing travel times between Taipei and Washington, D.C. The service is estimated to generate more than $61 million in annual economic impact to the U.S. National Capital Region.”

Expanded connectivity across the Americas

Following the route launch, EVA Air’s nonstop North American gateways will include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Vancouver, Toronto, and Washington, D.C.

Through partnerships with Star Alliance members and regional carriers, the airline’s network offers access to more than 200 destinations across the Americas. At the same time, North American travellers benefit from EVA Air’s extensive Asian route system via its hub at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

Tickets for the new Taipei–Washington, D.C. service are now available via EVA Air’s official booking channels.
