Buy EVA Air Flights with Alternative Airlines

EVA Air is a Taiwanese airline based in Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport. The airline operates flights to many destinations worldwide, covering over 60 destinations around Asia, Australia, Europe and North America, making it a fully international airline. This airline is currently the second-largest airline in Taiwan.

EVA Air was first established in 1989 when it was originally deemed to be called Evergreen Airways, but this was later scrapped due to a similar name as another airline. The word 'EVA' comes from letters of 'Evergreen' and 'Airways'. The airline first took off in 1991, with initial flights departing Taipei and going to destinations such as Bangkok, Seoul, Jakarta, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

The carrier is currently the second-largest airline in Taiwan and is part of the Star Alliance group, which allows passengers to enjoy a very vast network of over 1,400 destinations in over 190 countries all over the world. It has a regional subsidiary called UNI Air and codeshare agreements with many airlines, including Air China, All Nippon Airways, Asiana Airlines, Bangkok Airways, Hong Kong Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and Singapore Airlines.

Over the course of the airline's history, it has won several awards, such as one of the top 10 international airlines in Travel+Leisure's World's Best Awards, and a Skytrax 5-star rating.
