The Taipei–Washington DC service adds to EVA Air’s portfolio of North America routes, building on its existing offerings to cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver. With this new link, the airline aims to provide a more comprehensive transpacific network that supports business connectivity, family travel and leisure tourism.

EVA Air encourages travellers to book early for the summer 2026 season as availability for the new nonstop service is expected to be in demand.
