Carrier will be only Asian airline with two Texas destinations
EVA Air will launch a new service between Taipei and Dallas on Oct. 3, offering three weekly flights and bringing the total to nine passenger gateways in North America, including Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver. The new gateway not only enables EVA Air to offer the greatest number of destinations and the most extensive flight network from Taiwan to North America, said the announcement, but also makes it the only airline in Asia operating to two destinations in Texas.
Clay Sun, president of EVA Air, said the carrier has been seeing strong passenger demand for this route due to the influx of numerous companies in recent years and strong economic and population growth. As the third largest airport in the world in terms of passenger traffic and transfer to major cities in the United States, Central and South America, he said, having service in this market creates more convenience for passengers.
After the launch of the new route, passengers from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport will have a direct connection to Taoyuan International Airport in the early morning and can transfer to any of EVA Air’s Asian destinations with ease. With this flight network in place, said the announcement, EVA Air anticipates gradually attracting more passengers from North America to its main hub in Taiwan for connecting flights, further enhancing EVA Air’s operations. From the East Coast to the West Coast, said the announcement, EVA Air’s diverse routes and frequent flight services will extend to more than 100 inland cities in the US and Canada.
