EVA Air, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines are among the airlines expanding their long-haul networks to and from the U.S. over the forthcoming winter 2025-26 season.
Southwest may soon announce new international airline partners, while assessing what aircraft type will best support flying longer-haul on its own metal.
The interline will enable customers to book transpacific itineraries with EVA through an initial four gateways: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago.
Taiwan's EVA Air is expected to receive its first Airbus A350-1000 in 2026 as it aims to take full advantage of options for its U.S. East Coast network.
Taiwan’s EVA Air is considering extending the lease of its Airbus A321ceo fleet as the carrier monitors Airbus’ aircraft delivery and supply chain delays.
Prevented from flying over China, EVA Air notes that competitors operating Taiwan-Europe flights are also taking longer routes to avoid Russian airspace.
