EVA Air opens Milan service, first European route in 20 years

EVA Air will start flying to Italy’s Milan Malpensa Feb 18, 2020, making it the first European destination that the airline has added in 20 years, after Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, Paris and Vienna. The 4X-weekly flight from Taipei Taoyuan airport will use a 316-seat Boeing 777-300ER. Under a bilateral agreement between Italy and Taiwan, 2 airlines from each country are allowed to fly 7X-weekly flights between Taiwan, Milan and Rome. “We expect many travellers on the route to fly point-to-point between Taipei and Milan, but we also anticipate significant volumes of passengers and cargo transfer traffic on EVA Air’s network of 31 points in Asia, 18 in China and Brisbane in Australia,” Milan airport operator SEA Group VP Andrea Tucci said. <br/>
