EVA Air announced the signing of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) procurement agreements with three major suppliers: Associated Energy Group, LLC (AEG FUELS) from the United States, COSMO Oil Marketing Co., Ltd. (COSMO) from Japan, and Formosa Petrochemical Corporation from Taiwan. This strategic move reaffirms EVA Air’s unwavering commitment to sustainability by expanding its SAF footprint and establishing long-term partnerships with global and local suppliers.

EVA Air is launching a new service between Taipei and Dallas on October 3 this year, 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 but also makes it the only airline in Asia operating two destinations in Texas.

EVA Air, in collaboration with Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corp. and Trade-Van Information Services Co., has successfully completed the pilot program of the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) ONE Record standard, becoming the first airline in Taiwan to adopt this new framework. ONE Record is IATA’s next-generation digital standard for air cargo, utilizing Application Programming Interface (API) technology to enable real-time, secure data exchange across the global supply chain. This advancement not only enhances logistics transparency and operational efficiency but also significantly reduces paper-based documentation and carbon dioxide emissions, laying the foundation for the digital transformation and sustainable development of the air cargo industry.

EVA Air unveiled its fourth-generation Premium Economy Class seats with an industry-leading seat pitch of 42 inches. It was presented today during the “Focus on Evolution: Taking Off with Heart” launch event at Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation’s No. 4 Hangar. Presided over by EVA Air President Clay Sun, the event showcased the airline’s latest seat design.

EVA Air, together with Evergreen Airline Services and Evergreen Air Cargo Services, has been certified the Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Lithium Batteries certification by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This recognition makes EVA Air the first airline in Taiwan to achieve dual certification for passenger and cargo operations, highlighting its professional expertise and operational excellence across both sectors. It also shows the airline’s steadfast commitment to aviation safety.

EVA Air ranks seventh among AirlineRatings.com’s “Top 25 Safest Full-Service Airlines for 2025”. This marks the airline’s twelfth consecutive year of earning a place among the website’s global ratings for the safest airlines worldwide. The website’s comprehensive safety-rating factors include audits from aviation’s governing and industry bodies, government reviews, the airline’s crash and serious incident record, profitability, industry-leading safety initiatives, and fleet age.

EVA Air has achieved a major milestone in its sustainability journey by debuting on the DJSI Emerging Markets Indices. Due to its leadership and commitment to sustainable practices, the airline secured the highest Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) score in the global aviation sector in the 2024 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.
