Starlight, Star Bright, Newest EVA B777 Lights Up the Night
Cabins twinkle and glow with LED mood, star lights on EVA’s newest B777

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, (11 May, 2007) – EVA Air’s sixth Boeing 777-300ER, delivered at the aircraft manufacturer’s Everett, WA factory on 10 May, 2007, treats its Premium Laurel and Elite Class passengers to flights with twinkling star lights and mood lighting timed to help regulate body clocks.  EVA is the first Taiwan-based carrier to brighten its flights with these innovative LED lighting features in cabin ceilings and windows.

Passengers in Premium Laurel Class, EVA’s top cabin, can lie flat and gaze up at twinkling constellations, including Orion, Ursa Major, Pegasus, Cygnus, Auriga, Centaurus and more.  Mood lighting in the two cabins adjusts to six different levels, starting with sunrise

and progressing through midday, sunset, evening, relaxation and night-time.  The subtle changes in brightness are designed to help passengers’ body clocks adjust to the kinds of time-zone variations experienced on trans-Pacific travel.  The new onboard lighting system makes long flights more pleasant and brings the outside sky onboard. EVA will deploy its sixth new B777-300ER on its Taipei - Los Angeles route, and will fly the majority of its 17 flights from Taipei to Los Angeles with B777-300ERs.  The airline is taking delivery of two more of these aircraft later this year and will also place them in service on routes to the United States.  EVA flies a total of 36 flights between Asia and the US every week.  In addition to its Los Angeles service, it also flies 12 to San Francisco and seven to Seattle, three of which continue on to New York.  EVA is also using two B777s on its Taipei – Bangkok – London route.
