Chairman and founder Dr. Chang Yung-Fa formed EVA Air in March 1989, lifting the impeccable transportation heritage and tradition of quality service long established by container-shipping leader Evergreen Marine Corporation to new heights. Within a few months, he had placed an order with the Boeing Company and McDonnell Douglas for 26 aircraft at a purchase value of US$3.6 billion, a move that immediately got the attention of the global aviation market. EVA Air had lofty goals when it made its maiden flight on July 1, 1991. Today, they fly to more than 40 destinations on four continents, including Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America.

In addition, carefully developed alliances with major carriers worldwide give EVA Air a far-reaching service network that benefits both passenger and cargo customers. EVA Air’s focus on flight safety has gained worldwide recognition. They have been awarded the coveted Gold Wing by Taiwan’s Civil Aeronautics Administration and are ranked as one of the world’s top-10 safest carriers by Aero International Magazine in Germany. EVA Air operates one of the world’s youngest fleets. They use their eight MD-11 and nine B747-400 freighters to serve major air cargo markets worldwide. These services also extend to selected destinations in their passenger network. It’s their way of ensuring valued customers quality service that is as flexible as it is efficient.
