EVA Air to Launch Taipei–Washington Dulles Nonstop in July 2026

The carrier cites United hub connectivity at Dulles alongside strong business demand.

Overview

  • EVA Air plans four weekly flights operated by a three-cabin Boeing 787-9 with 278 seats, including 26 in business class and 28 in premium economy.
  • The service will be the first-ever nonstop between Dulles and Taiwan and will make EVA Air the first Taiwanese airline to serve IAD.
  • Washington Dulles becomes EVA Air’s 10th North American destination as the airline extends its transpacific network.
  • Tickets are not yet on sale and the exact launch date and schedule have not been released, though timing is expected to resemble the carrier’s New York overnight pattern.
  • At roughly 7,864 miles, the route ranks among EVA Air’s longest and may require longer block times due to detours around Russian airspace, with traffic expected to include a high share of connecting passengers.
