Following the launch of our Dallas-Fort Worth route last year, which made us the only airline in Asia to serve two destinations in Texas, we are further expanding our U.S. network with nonstop service to Washington, D.C. This strengthens our presence on the East Coast and allows us to better serve one of the nation’s most influential markets, home to the political heart of the U.S. and a high concentration of global enterprises,” EVA Air President Clay Sun said. The addition of the Washington, D.C. route strengthens our North American network, while providing passengers with more flexible, efficient, and comfortable travel options,” he added. The airline assigned the flight numbers BR03/BR04 to the route and announced that it would be served by aircraft featuring the latest cabin product. “The Taipei–Washington, D.C. route will be operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft featuring a three-class configuration: Royal Laurel Class, Economy Class, and the new fourth-generation Premium Economy Class. EVA Air’s Premium Economy class offers the industry’s largest seat pitch, elevating the design concept from an “upgraded economy” standard to a “business-class-like” experience. The airline aims to offer a refined, comfortable cabin experience, further strengthening its comprehensive three-class service offerings,” EVA Air said. “With this new route, EVA Air’s North American network will grow to include 10 gateways, two of which will feature the new fourth-generation Premium Economy class and increase the total weekly flights to 98. This makes EVA Air the airline with the most destinations and the largest flight network from Taiwan to North America,” the Star Alliance member carrier added. EVA Air’s plans to launch the first-ever nonstop flights on the Taipei-Washington D.C. route were officially announced this week, as reported last month by Taiwanese media.
