Late last year, EVA Air announced that it planned to launch flights to its newest destination in North America as of late 2025. There’s now an update, as the schedule has been revealed, and the flight is on sale (thanks to AeroRoutes for flagging this).
EVA Air will start flying to Dallas, Texas
As of October 3, 2025, EVA Air will launch a new route between Taipei (TPE) and Dallas (DFW). The 7,718-mile flight will operate 3x weekly, with the following schedule:
BR50 Taipei to Dallas departing 7:45PM arriving 7:05PM
BR49 Dallas to Taipei departing 10:50PM arriving 5:25AM (+2 days)
The flight will operate on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, in each direction, and is blocked at 13hr20min eastbound and 16hr35min westbound. EVA Air will use a Boeing 777-300ER for the route, featuring 333 seats, including 39 business class seats, 56 premium economy seats, and 238 economy seats.
Personally I’m a huge fan of EVA Air’s business class, and rank it among the best in the world. While the hard product isn’t that great, EVA Air’s soft product is phenomenal, from the food, to the drinks, to the amenities, to the service.
How Dallas fits into EVA Air’s route network
Dallas will be EVA Air’s ninth destination in North America, complementing service to Chicago (ORD), Houston (IAH), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), Toronto (YYZ), and Vancouver (YVR).
An EVA Air executive notes how DFW has the third highest passenger volume in the world (after ATL and DXB), and also mentions how many tech companies have moved from Silicon Valley to Texas. It’s also noted how both passengers and cargo can easily connect from DFW to Central and South America.
Keep in mind that EVA Air is in Star Alliance. DFW is a fortress hub for American, which is in oneworld. So while the two airlines don’t really have a commercial partnership, they do interline with one another, so it’ll be possible to book tickets on itineraries that include travel on both airlines.
The route seems easy enough to justify even without partnerships, given how big Dallas is as a market. However, I can’t help but wonder if there’s a bit more to this as well. Keep in mind that Taiwan has three global carriers — China Airlines, EVA Air, and Starlux Airlines. While China Airlines is in SkyTeam and EVA Air is in Star Alliance, Starlux Airlines is hoping to join the oneworld alliance.
Now, it remains to be seen if anything comes of that, though it almost seems like EVA Air might be trying to beat Starlux to the punch when it comes to launching this route, maybe to capture some local contracts. That being said, there’s of course nothing preventing both airlines from operating the route. Heck, there are four airlines flying from both San Francisco and Seattle to Taipei.
For that matter, we’re also seeing Cathay Pacific launch a route to Dallas, out of Hong Kong, so that’s another great new connection between Texas and Asia.
Bottom line
As of October 2025, EVA Air will launch a new 3x weekly flight between Taipei and Dallas with a 777. This route is now on sale, and is a great new option for getting between Dallas and Asia. EVA Air is a world class airline, so I’d take this flight in a heartbeat. This will be EVA Air’s ninth destination in North America, and seems like a logical enough addition.
