EVA Air to begin 787-9 service on 3 European routes
EVA Air will begin Boeing 787-9 operations to Europe from May 9 on its 4X-weekly Taipei Taoyuan-Bangkok-Vienna route, as well its 3X-weekly Taipei-Vienna nonstop service. The 787-9 will replace 777-300ERs on the routes, as it will in October on Taipei-Amsterdam services. “On the 787-9 we have 304 seats, compared to 330 seats on the 777-300ER. The difference in number of seats is marginal,” EVA GM Austria and CEE Edward Ho said. Europe is a relatively small part of EVA´s network, representing about 10% of the carrier’s business. “But it is strategically very important,” Ho said. EVA Air’s first 787-9 was delivered in October 2018, and the first 787-10 is expected in the Q2 of 2019. The airline plans to have 24 787s by 2022. <br/>
