EVA Airways Corporation (/ˌiːviːˈeɪ/ EE-VEE-AY;[6] Chinese: 長榮航空; pinyin: Chángróng Hángkōng) (TWSE: 2618) is a Taiwanese international airline headquartered in Taoyuan City. It is one of the two largest airlines in Taiwan along with state-owned China Airlines. The privately owned airline operates passenger and dedicated cargo services to over 40 international destinations in Asia, Australia, Europe & North America. Its network fully consists of international routes, with no domestic routes.[7][8] It is rated as a 5-star airline by Skytrax, and is the second largest airline based in Taiwan after China Airlines.[8] EVA Air is headquartered at Taoyuan International Airport in Luzhu, Taoyuan City. The company slogan is "Sharing the World, Flying Together" (分享世界，比翼雙飛; Fēnxiǎng shìjiè, bǐyì shuāngfēi).
Since its founding in 1989 as an affiliate of shipping conglomerate Evergreen Group,[9] EVA Air has expanded to include air cargo, airline catering, ground handling, and aviation engineering services.[7] Its cargo arm, EVA Air Cargo, links with the Evergreen worldwide shipping network on sea and land.[8] Its domestic and regional subsidiary, UNI Air, operates a medium and short-haul network to destinations within the island of Taiwan, Macau as well as mainland China with its main hub in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.[8]
EVA Air operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, with Airbus A330, Airbus A321, Boeing 777, Boeing 787, and ATR 72 (operated by UNI Air) airliners primarily used on passenger routes, along with Boeing 777 freighter aircraft used on cargo routes.[8] The airline was the first carrier to introduce the Premium Economy class (previously called Elite Class by EVA Air), which it debuted in 1991.[8]
