EVA to Start B777-300ER Service on Direct Taipei – New York Flights
Reducing flight time in both directions with 4 Dec. aircraft upgrade

TAIPEI, TAIWAN (28 Sept., 2007) -- EVA Air is putting a new Boeing 777-300ER in service on its Taipei – New York route on 4 Dec., 2007.  With the equipment change, EVA will fly to New York nonstop and reduce flight time for its three weekly flights to 14 hours, shaving approximately four hours off the trip and eliminating a stop in Seattle. Return flights from New York to Taipei will make a one-hour, fifteen-minute refueling stop in Anchorage because of strong head winds.

EVA will also introduce B777-300ERs on its four weekly Taipei – Seattle flights.   The equipment upgrades on the two routes are not only good economic moves for the airline but also will enhance service quality for passengers.

EVA launched its Taipei – Seattle – New York route with Boeing 747-400 aircraft that have a maximum cruising range of 13,185 kilometers (7,325 nmi ).  The


aircraft’s payload limitations have required EVA to stop in Seattle, making the trip longer and less convenient for passengers going to and from New York.  EVA’s new B777-300ERs have a maximum cruising range of 14,184 kilometer (7,880 nmi) and are powered with GE 90-115B engines.  The new aircraft are 20% more fuel efficient than the B747-400s, more environment friendly, and enable EVA to fly from Taipei to New York without stopping.
 
EVA’s Taipei – New York flight BR32 will leave Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport on Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 6:50 pm and arrive at Newark International Airport at 8:10 pm the same day.  Return flight BR31 departs New York the same evening 9:50 pm and arrives in Taipei two days later at 6:10 am.

EVA’s Taipei – Seattle flight BR26 will take off from Taoyuan International Airport on  Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and land in Seattle at 5:35 pm the same day. Return flight BR25  departs Seattle at 1:30 am the following day and gets into Taipei at 6:40 am.
 
With the direct service to New York, EVA will have increased frequency on its US network from 36 to 39 flights a week, including 20 to Los Angeles and 12 to San Francisco, along with the four to Seattle and three to New York.  Starting in April 2008, brand-new B777-300ERs will be placed in service on EVA’s San Francisco route.  By the end of 2008, EVA will be serving all of its US gateways with new B777-300ERs.
