EVA adds fourth Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner to fleet

 EVA Air has added its fourth 787-10 Dreamliner at the Boeing assembly factory in North Charleston, South Carolina, which has now been ferried to Taiwan.

The airline will start flying one of the aircraft to Brisbane later this month and extend 787 operations to Vancouver in the first quarter of 2020.

“Fuel efficiency and cabin comfort are key factors that determine a commercial jetliner’s competitiveness in the global aviation market,” said EVA president Clay Sun. “The Boeing Dreamliner’s reliable performance and advanced aviation technologies make it an excellent choice for the aircraft we need to continue growing our route network and providing our passengers with safe, comfortable flights.”

GE’s advanced GEnx engines reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, compared to power systems on traditional wide-body aircraft. The 787-9’s high fuel efficiencies and range capabilities equip EVA to further elevate operational performances.

Boeing also engineered its Dreamliners to enhance cabin comfort. The Boeing 787 is equipped with an advanced air filtration system that improves cabin air.

EVA is adding a total of 24 Dreamliners to its fleet. This process started in 2018, as it began to take delivery of 787-9 Dreamliners and now operates four of that model aircraft.

By 2022, the airline estimates it will be operating 16 more 787-10s.
