EVA Air to get 6 new Boeing 787 Dreamliners by end of 2025

EVA Air said it will take delivery of six new Boeing 787 Dreamliners in 2024 and 2025 as a global aircraft shortage is expected to continue for at least three years. "There is a shortage of materials, a shortage of people, a shortage of engines, and even a shortage of seats," according to Sun Jia-ming, EVA Airways general manager. He added that EVA Air plans to receive 47 new aircraft before 2032, per CNA. The global aircraft manufacturing supply chain is recovering slowly from a two to three-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With air travel and cargo demand returning, the production of new aircraft has yet to keep pace. Regarding the world's two largest aircraft manufacturers, Europe's Airbus has recently lowered its delivery outlook because component supply failed to meet demand, while US-based Boeing has also reduced its delivery outlook due to the same supply chain issues.<br/>
