EVA Air will launch a new direct route to Dallas, adding to its network in North America this October.
From October 3, the Taipei, Taiwan-based airline will operate three weekly flights (Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday) between Taipei Taoyuan International Airport and Dallas-Fort Worth. Using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, the outbound flights will operate as BR50 departing Taipei at 1910H and arrive at 1940H. The return flights – BR49 – will depart at 2250H and arrive at 0405H the following morning.
Dallas will be EVA Air's ninth destination in North America, the seventh in the US, and the second within the US state of Texas – the other being Houston Intercontinental Airport. The airline operates flights to Chicago O'Hare, Houston, Los Angeles, New York-JFK, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto-Pearson, and Vancouver.
“EVA Air has been operating cargo service to and from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport since 1998. Now, we are seeing strong passenger demand for this route due to the influx of numerous companies in recent years and strong economic and population growth. Dallas has become one of Texas’ economic and commercial centers,” said Clay Sun, President, EVA Air. “The opening of the direct passenger flight to Dallas makes us the only airline in Asia to operate two routes to Texas. 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, having service in this market creates more convenience for our passengers.”
While the new Taipei-Dallas route will start in October, EVA Air currently operates a cargo service on the route.
