launch three new routes to Japan and increase flights to existing Japanese destinations next year thanks to the addition of Boeing 787 Dreamliners to its fleet.
The carrier said it will start providing daily round-trip flights between Taoyuan and Nagoya in central Japan on June 6 using Boeing’s fuel-saving aircraft.
EVA Air said it will also launch Taoyuan-Aomori and Taoyuan-Matsuyama routes to expand its flight network to northeastern and southern Japan, respectively, starting in the third quarter of 2019.
As the airline takes delivery of more Dreamliners, it will use that model to partly replace the Airbus A330-300s that are currently used to fly to Tokyo Narita and Osaka, said EVA President Clay Sun (孫嘉明). [FULL STORY]
