Taiwan's EVA Air to launch nonstop service from Taipei to Dallas Fort Worth Airport

Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE)-based EVA Air has announced that it plans to expand its long-haul network with a new service connecting its hub to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) as of November 2025. The new route is likely going to be operated by the Boeing 787-9 fleet, although this is unconfirmed. The new addition will join existing flights to the United States to destinations including Houston (IAH), New York (JFK) and more. Operating five times weekly, the new flights to the Texas city will begin on November 3rd, 2025, said EVA Air President Clay Sun in a press conference, cited by the Central News Agency. The new route is interesting, particularly given that just 24,000 passengers traveled roundtrip between the two cities in the year ending July 2024, according to Simple Flying Route Analyst, Dr. James Pearson. EVA Air says that the new route will facilitate economic relations between the two countries, as it coincides with the continued move of high-tech companies from Silicon Valley to Texas. Sun highlighted, according to Taiwan News, that the route would mean TPE is connected to the world’s third-busiest airport by passenger volume.<br/>
