EVA Air begins a new phase of US expansion with Houston launch and second schedule bank

Analysis

Taiwan's EVA Air is entering a new phase as it launches Houston on 19-Jun-2015. Houston is EVA's first new long-haul destination in five years and is part of a major push in the North American market that also includes the anticipated launch of services to Chicago in 2016.

EVA is relying heavily on connections to Southeast Asia as it launches Houston and continues to add capacity to North America. EVA plans to boost feed to its growing North America operation by adding capacity to Southeast Asia through additional frequencies which will ultimately create a second bank of connection flights at Taipei for the Southeast Asia-US market.

To support growth in Southeast Asia, EVA is pursuing modest expansion of its A330 fleet that will provide interim capacity prior to the delivery of new-generation A350s or 787s. EVA plans to place orders for at least 20 A350s or 787s by the end of 2015.
