Bridge between Taipei and Vienna, cultures of Asia and Europe EVA has distinguished itself with excellent safety rankings and outstanding quality service since the day it was formed. Now, EVA is distinguishing itself by linking cultures between two of the world’s most renowned museums and connecting the art of Middle Europe and Asia. The airline created this bridge 17 years ago when it became the first Taiwanese carrier to fly to Vienna. EVA Air has continued to operate this service via a Vienna-Bangkok-Taipei route, successfully establishing itself in the Austrian travel market. EVA uses an advanced Airbus 330-200 to fly the route three times a week – Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
