EVA Air’s jumbo era

EVA Air launched international service in 1991 with 747-400 Combis — an unusual variant that divided the main deck between cargo pallets at the front and passengers at the rear, opening North American and European routes from Taipei. A conventional 747-400 passenger fleet followed. EVA was among the last major Asian carriers to retire the passenger 747, keeping it in service until August 2017.

What flies EVA Air’s long-haul routes now

The 787-9 Dreamliner and 777-300ER cover EVA’s long-haul network today.
