Eva Air adds six A350-1000s and three A321neos to its Airbus order
Taiwan carrier Eva Air has signed an additional order for six A350-1000s and three A321neos with Airbus. The new order was announced in March by the company.
With the new aircraft, Eva Air now has 24 firm orders for the widebody A350-1000 and 18 for the narrowbody A321neo.
“The new additions to our fleet reaffirm our commitment to sustainable aviation and delivering an exceptional travel experience. Both the A350-1000 and A321neo set a high standard in their respective categories, offering remarkable efficiency and comfort to our passengers,” said Clay Sun, President of EVA Air.
“EVA Air’s new orders underscore the enduring appeal of the A350-1000 Long Range Leader as the benchmark for intercontinental operations, and the A321neo as a leader in regional efficiency,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.
With a fleet of widebodies mostly from Boeing, Eva Air decided to bet on the A350 as a replacement for the 777-300ER, currently its main long-haul aircraft.
The first purchase announcement was made in November 2023, including 18 A350-1000s and 15 A321neos, which will replace its 17 first-generation A321s.
Eva Air has a network of flights concentrated in the Pacific region, with some destinations in Europe and North America.
