  • EVA Airways Corporation"; traditional Chinese: 長榮航空; simplified Chinese: 长荣航空;

  • pinyin: Chángróngngkōng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tióngngng-khong) is a Taiwanese airline

  • based at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport near Taipei, Taiwan, operating passenger and

  • dedicated cargo services to over 40 international destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe and

  • North America. EVA Air is largely privately owned and flies a fully international route

  • network. It is the second largest Taiwanese airline. EVA Air is headquartered in Luzhu,

  • Taoyuan County. Since its founding in 1989 as an affiliate

  • of shipping conglomerate Evergreen Group, EVA Air has expanded to include air cargo,

  • airline catering, ground handling, and aviation engineering services. Its cargo arm, EVA Air

  • Cargo, links with the Evergreen worldwide shipping network on sea and land. Its domestic

  • and regional subsidiary, UNI Air, operates a medium and short-haul network based in Kaohsiung,

  • Taiwan. EVA Air is the 6th safest international airline in the world, with no hull losses

  • or fatalities since its establishment. EVA Air operates a mixed fleet of Airbus,

  • Boeing, and McDonnell Douglas aircraft, with Airbus A330, Boeing 747, and Boeing 777 airliners

  • primarily used on passenger routes, along with Boeing 747 and MD-11 freighters used

  • on cargo routes. The airline was one of the first carriers to introduce the premium economy

  • class, which it debuted in 1991. EVA Air's slogan is "Sharing the World, Flying Together."

  • History Launch

  • In September 1988, during the 20th anniversary celebration of Evergreen Marine Corporation’s

  • founding, company chairman Chang Yung-fa announced his company’s intentions to establish Taiwan’s

  • first private international airline. The opportunity to create a major Taiwanese airline had just

  • arisen following a decision by the Taiwanese government to liberalise the country’s air

  • transportation system. Government requirements still mandated global experience and financial

  • capital requirements for any company seeking permission to initiate international airline

  • service from Taiwan. Upon recipient of regulatory approval, EVA

  • Airways Corporation was formally established in March 1989. The airline was originally

  • to be called Evergreen Airways, however this was deemed too similar to the unrelated Evergreen

  • International cargo airline. In October 1989, the newly formed EVA Airways Corporation placed

  • a US$3.6 billion order for 26 aircraft from Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, including Boeing

  • 747-400 and MD-11 airliners. Operations began on 1 July 1991 with a small

  • fleet of EVA Air Boeing 767-300ER aircraft featuring business and economy class seating.

  • Initial destinations from Taipei were Bangkok, Seoul, Jakarta, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur.

  • By the end of the year, the EVA Air network had expanded to include additional cities

  • in East Asia and its first European destination, Vienna. First year revenues reached US$40

  • million. Expansion in the 1990s

  • In 1992, EVA Air received the first of its Boeing 747-400 aircraft on order, and launched

  • its premium economy class, "Economy Deluxe", on its 747 transpacific flights to Los Angeles,

  • beginning in December of that year. EVA Air's premium economy cabin, one of the first in

  • the airline industry, featured a wider 2-4-2 abreast configuration, legrests, individual

  • seatback video, and enhanced meal services. EVA Air's Economy Deluxe cabin proved popular

  • with the traveling public. For international services, EVA Air's 747s were configured with

  • 104 premium economy seats as part of a 370-seat, four-class cabin, in addition to first, business

  • and economy classes. In 1993, EVA Air added flights to Seattle, New York, Bangkok and

  • Vienna with the Boeing 747-400.

  • By 1994, EVA Air was providing regular service to 22 destinations worldwide, and carrying

  • over 3 million passengers annually. In 1995, the airline posted its first profit on revenues

  • of US$1.05 billion, one year ahead of schedule. Internationally, EVA Air's rapid expansion

  • and increased passenger volume was boosted by its safety record, in contrast to its primary

  • competitor, China Airlines. In addition to receiving IOSA certification, EVA Air in 1997

  • achieved simultaneous official ISO 9002 certification in the areas of Passenger, Cargo, and Maintenance

  • Services. Dedicated EVA Air Cargo operations began in

  • April 1995, with the first weekly McDonnell Douglas MD-11 freighter flights to Taipei,

  • Singapore, Penang, San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. EVA Air Cargo's fleet was

  • expanded to five freighters by the end of the year. Previously, EVA Air Cargo operations

  • mainly relied on passenger aircraft cargo space.

  • In the mid–1990s, EVA Air expanded into the domestic Taiwan market by acquiring shares

  • in Makung International Airlines, followed by Great China Airlines and Taiwan Airways.

  • On 1 July 1998, all three carriers, as well as EVA's existing domestic operations, merged

  • under the UNI Air title. UNI Air became EVA Air's domestic intra-Taiwanese subsidiary,

  • operating shorthaul flights out of its base in Kaohsiung, Taiwan's southern port and second-largest

  • city. Maturation in the early 2000s

  • In 2000, EVA Air embarked on its first major long-haul fleet renewal. The airline became

  • one of the launch customers for the Boeing 777-300ER, ordering four aircraft plus eight

  • options. At the same time, the airline placed three orders for the Boeing 777-200LR. In

  • January 2001, EVA Air ordered its first Airbus aircraft, the A330-200. The Boeing 777 aircraft

  • were intended for United States and European services, while the Airbus A330 aircraft were

  • intended for regional Asian routes.

  • In 2001, EVA Air began listing public stock offerings on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Initially,

  • one percent of the company's shares was offered over-the-counter, with one-quarter held by

  • parent company Evergreen Marine Corporation and EVA Air employees, respectively. In 2002,

  • EVA Air underwent internal corporate reforms, with staff reductions and streamlined management.

  • This culminated a process which had begun in 1997, when the Asian financial crisis began

  • affecting profitability. The 2002–2003 SARS contagion also affected passenger traffic

  • for medium-haul flights in Southeast Asia, while long-haul flights to North America,

  • Japan, and Europe were less affected. In 2004, EVA Air converted its remaining eight

  • options for Boeing 777-300ERs into firm orders. The first Boeing 777-300ER entered service

  • as EVA Air's new flagship aircraft in July 2005. With the arrival of its new Boeing 777s,

  • EVA Air launched a comprehensive revamp of its cabins, introducing lie-flat seats in

  • its new Premium Laurel business class cabin, and upgrading its premium economy product

  • to the new Elite Class cabin. The airline's A330s were introduced with two-class Premium

  • Laurel and Economy cabins. In December 2005, EVA Air and its associated divisions had 5,098

  • employees, and the airline's network spanned 40 passenger destinations worldwide, with

  • additional cargo destinations. Repositioning in the late 2000s

  • In 2007, EVA Air announced a nonstop Taipei to New York service, to be operated with its

  • new long-range Boeing 777-300ERs. At the same time, the airline withdrew passenger service

  • from Taipei to Paris. On 31 October 2008, EVA Air announced a resumption of Taipei to

  • Paris service with thrice-weekly passenger flights beginning 21 January 2009. In 2008,

  • the airline also announced the suspension of services to Auckland. The carrier also

  • prepared to increase direct flights to China, after initiating weekly charter flights in

  • July 2008 following changes to the Three Links travel agreements.

  • For the 2007–2008 period, EVA Air coped with a 34% surge in fuel prices, which contributed

  • to a US$61.2 million 2007 loss. In August 2008, EVA Air reported a second quarterly

  • loss due to increased fuel costs. In response, the airline implemented cost-saving measures,

  • including flight schedule reductions and fee increases. In early 2008, EVA Air's business

  • office in El Segundo, California, announced a major staff reduction, with over half the

  • staff advised that they would no longer be employed by May 2008. Functions performed

  • by those local staff were shifted to Taiwan by half, such as the reservation center.

  • EVA Air carried 6.2 million passengers in 2007, and employed 4,800 staff members as

  • of April 2008. The carrier returned to profitability in the first quarter of 2009, with a US$5.9

  • million net gain. In August 2010, EVA Air was named one of the top 10 international

  • airlines in Travel+Leisure's World's Best Awards.

  • Recent developments In 2010, EVA Air released a newsflash about

  • their service to Toronto, which began on 29 March 2010. In November 2010, EVA Air began

  • nonstop flights connecting the inner-city Taipei Songshan and Tokyo Haneda airports.

  • In 2010, Chang Kuo-wei, son of Chang Yung-fa, returned to serve as EVA Air's president,

  • and the carrier recorded increased sales and yearly profits. In early 2011, the carrier

  • announced that it had applied for airline alliance membership with Star Alliance, and

  • later that year clarified that it was in talks to join either Oneworld or Star Alliance by

  • 2013. In June 2011, the carrier began nonstop flights from Taipei to Guam, and in October

  • 2011 the carrier announced nonstop service from New York to Taipei.

  • On 27 March 2012, EVA Air announced that it would join Star Alliance in 2013. On 24 September

  • 2012 EVA Air signed a partnership with Amadeus IT Group Altéa suite for its Altéa Revenue

  • Management system.

  • On 18 June 2013, EVA Air became a full member of Star Alliance.

  • Corporate affairs and identity Management

  • As of 2011, EVA Air's corporate leadership is headed by Chairman Lin Bou-shiu and President

  • Chang Kuo-wei. EVA Air's president plays a primary role in managing EVA's business operations.

  • Other members of EVA Air's board manage support and service services of the company, including

  • its catering and maintenance divisions. Related areas outside EVA Air's direct management

  • include UNI Holidays, Evergreen's Evasión travel service and Evergreen Laurel Hotels.

  • EVA Air has its headquarters, known as the EVA Air Building, in Luzhu, Taoyuan County.

  • EVA Air is largely privately owned. Primary shareholders are Evergreen Marine Corporation,

  • Evergreen founder Chang Yung-fa, and Evergreen International Corporation. Foreign investors

  • and individual stockholders combined hold 28% of EVA Air shares.

  • Cultural details EVA Air has differentiated its onboard service

  • by using Taiwanese, Mandarin, Hakka, English, and other languages for its in-flight cabin

  • announcements. The order of Hokkien and Mandarin has varied since the carrier's launch. EVA

  • Air has also used Taiwanese folk songs in its boarding music, including an orchestral

  • form of "Longing for Spring Wind" performed by the Evergreen Group's Evergreen Symphony

  • Orchestra. The carrier's aircraft and employee color scheme has at times been interpreted

  • by observers as support for the Pan-Green Coalition of Taiwanese politics, mainly due

  • to Evergreen founder Chang Yung-fa's political views in the 2000 presidential election, but

  • this association changed following Chang's support of the Pan-Blue Coalition in the 2004

  • presidential election. The carrier has further abstained from displaying official markings

  • of Taiwan on its aircraft, and received expedited approval of international landing rights as

  • a result. Branding

  • Name and logo The name "EVA" was taken from two letters

  • of "Evergreen" and the first letter of "Airways." The name "EVA" is always spelled in capital

  • letters. The airline uses the logo of its parent company, using green with an orange

  • trim. Livery and uniforms

  • The standard EVA Air livery utilizes dark green, signifying durability, and orange,

  • representing technological innovation. The tail globe logo is intended to represent stability

  • and reliability, and its positioning on the tail, with one corner off the edge, represents

  • service innovation. The EVA Air livery was updated in 2002, adding a larger typeface

  • and the use of green covering the aircraft below the window line. The tail design and

  • logo remained unchanged. Since 2003, EVA Air has adopted its current

  • uniform, featuring dark green dresses with cropped jackets. Chief pursers are distinguished

  • by orange highlights, gold bands, and orange stripes; flight attendants feature green trim

  • and white stripes. The current uniform replaced the former green-and-orange necktie ensembles

  • used in EVA Air's first twelve years. Marketing slogans

  • EVA Air has used different slogans throughout its operational history. The first slogan

  • appeared on English advertising in the United States, while the 1996 and 2003 versions were

  • introduced internationally in both English and Mandarin. In 2005, a second "Sharing the

  • world" slogan was introduced to complement the arrival of the airline's Boeing 777s.

  • EVA Air slogans have been as follows:

  • Divisions EVA Air Cargo

  • Founded concurrently with the passenger operations of EVA Air, EVA Air Cargo operates facilities

  • in Europe, Asia, and North America. Its cargo operations have diversified to include transportation

  • of high-tech equipment and special care items such as museum artwork and live zoological

  • specimens. EVA Air has stated its goal of achieving a 50/50 split in revenues between

  • its passenger and cargo operations. The airline's cargo operations are mainly operated via a

  • fleet of Boeing 747-400, MD-11 dedicated freighters, Boeing 747-400 Combi aircraft, and additional

  • belly cargo space on passenger aircraft. Following the establishment of its A330 fleet

  • and the introduction of Boeing 777 long-haul aircraft, the airline converted some of its

  • older Boeing 747-400 passenger aircraft to freighters to meet cargo market demands. EVA

  • Air Cargo established its European Cargo Center in Brussels in 2003 and opened its Southern

  • China Cargo Center in Hong Kong in 2006. As of 2007, EVA Air Cargo has 43 weekly cargo

  • flights to London, Vienna, Brussels and US destinations including Los Angeles, Dallas/Ft.

  • Worth, Chicago, Atlanta and New York. The carrier also has code-shares with international

  • airlines including Air Nippon, British Airways World Cargo, Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa

  • Cargo. In recent years, the airline has focused its

  • North American cargo operations solely on point-to-point routes. By 2004, EVA Air Cargo

  • ranked among the world's top 10 largest air freight companies. Industry publication Air

  • Cargo World ranked EVA Air Cargo 6th out of 50 in its 2008 Air Cargo Excellence Survey,

  • a measure of cargo service customer service and performance. In 2008, EVA Air handled

  • the transport of two Chinese pandas, donated as a gift to the Taipei Zoo.

  • Maintenance and support

  • EVA Air service divisions further include pilot and cabin attendant training facilities,

  • along with its Evergreen Sky Catering and Evergreen Airline Services ground support

  • divisions. EVA Air has partnered with General Electric since 1998 to operate the Evergreen

  • Aviation Technologies Corporation, a heavy maintenance and aircraft overhaul service.

  • Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation provides safety, repair, and refit services

  • for EVA Air, other airlines' aircraft, and has handled the modification of four Boeing

  • 747 Large Cargo Freighter aircraft for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner program.

  • Destinations

  • Most EVA Air flights originate out of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, its main hub

  • near Taipei, Taiwan. At Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, EVA Air's flight operations are concentrated

  • in Terminal 2. Additionally, EVA Air and its domestic subsidiary UNI Air operate numerous

  • flights out of Kaohsiung International Airport. A focus city for EVA Air outside Taiwan is

  • Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, with westerly connections to all its European destinations

  • except for Paris. Through the mid-2000s, EVA Air's route network

  • was affected by the political status of Taiwan, which has historically limited access for

  • Taiwanese airlines to Europe and certain Asian countries. Because Taiwanese carriers did

  • not have direct access to China, EVA Air has used Hong Kong and Macau as interline destinations.

  • EVA Air operated regular charter flights to China in 2008. The airline began regularly

  • scheduled, direct cross-strait operations in December 2008, following the restoration

  • of direct travel links. Codeshare agreements

  • EVA Air has existing codeshare agreements with over a dozen carriers, which include

  • the following:

  • Fleet The EVA Air fleet consists of the following

  • aircraft:

  • Special liveries In October 2005, EVA Air launched a campaign

  • with Japanese company Sanrio to create the "Hello Kitty Jet," featuring the popular Japanese

  • character. Using the airline's A330-200, the exterior adopted a livery of Hello Kitty characters.

  • A year later, the airline launched a second Hello Kitty Jet. The aircraft featured a Hello

  • Kitty motif on exterior and interior fittings and features. Both planes were used to serve

  • Japanese destinations, and from midJuly 2007, also Taipei-Hong Kong routes. The original

  • Hello Kitty livery was retired in 2009, but in 2011 EVA Air announced its return in redesigned

  • form to mark the carrier's 20th anniversary and renew interest in Japanese tourism. For

  • this occasion, EVA Air had ordered brand-new Airbus A330-300s to be painted in an all-new

  • Hello Kitty livery. After the introduction of the "refreshed"

  • Hello Kitty Livery on three EVA Air A330's, EVA Air decided to introduce two additional

  • Hello Kitty A330 jets, launched in May and June 2012. The fourth and fifth Hello Kitty

  • jets are known as "Hello Kitty Speed Puff" and "Hello Kitty Happy Music" respectively.

  • In July 2006, EVA Air's third new Boeing 777-300ER was Boeing's center stage at the 2006 Farnborough

  • Airshow in a static display. The aircraft, with its special 777-300ER "Rainbow" livery,

  • was leased by Boeing for a week to be presented at the show. The first three EVA Air Boeing

  • 777 aircraft featured this livery, which were phased out in 2013.

  • For the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition, EVA Air debuted a floral-inspired design for

  • its A330-200 aircraft, highlighting the carrier's official sponsorship of the event; the "Flora

  • Expo cabin concept" introduced interior products such as in-flight meals with a flower motif.

  • Fleet plans EVA Air's long-haul fleet is based on the

  • Boeing 777-300ER, with the carrier's initial order for 15 all delivered by 2011. In 2006,

  • the airline decided against its existing three Boeing 777-200LR orders, and the 777-200LR

  • orders were converted into 777-300ER orders. Despite the airline's focus on cargo operations,

  • EVA Air in 2007 indicated it had no current plans to acquire the Boeing 777 Freighter.

  • Instead, with the arrival of additional passenger Boeing 777 aircraft, EVA Air transferred more

  • Boeing 747 aircraft to freighter operations. In late 2010, EVA Air indicated it planned

  • to lease three A330-300 aircraft for Asian routes in 2011. In mid-2011, EVA Air announced

  • plans to acquire further 777-300ERs to complete the replacement of its 747-400 aircraft on

  • Europe and U.S. routes, along with A321 series narrow-body jets to replace its MD-90 fleet.

  • On 8 May 2012, EVA Air signed orders with Boeing for 3 additional 777-300ERs, and also

  • announced its lease of 4 more 777-300ERs from GECAS.

  • Services Check-in

  • At Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, EVA Air has introduced the EVA Air Check-in Kiosks

  • at T2, counters 6A, allowing passengers to check in and print their boarding passes electronically,

  • since December 2009. The kiosks are currently available at Taiwan Taoyuan International

  • Airport and Taipei Songshan Airport. Over time, EVA will install these counters in airports

  • in China and other international EVA Air destinations. Previously, if passengers were to check in

  • for an EVA Air flight, they would have to go to an airline representative at the counters.

  • Onboard

  • EVA Air offers three classes of service on its long-haul flights: "Royal Laurel"/"Premium

  • Laurel", "Elite Class" and Economy Class. All cabins feature satellite phones, audio

  • video on demand entertainment, SMS service, and in select Boeing 777 cabins, mood lighting.

  • Domestic and short-haul international services flown by EVA Air and UNI Air MD-90 aircraft

  • also feature a short-haul business class. In the latter half of 2007, EVA Air's Boeing

  • 747-400 fleet was upgraded to feature the airline's latest seating classes; the addition

  • of Premium Laurel class on the Boeing 747-400 succeeded the previous "Super First" and "Super

  • Business" cabins. In early 2012, EVA Air officials unveiled a redesigned "Royal Laurel" business
