Event celebrated first-ever nonstop flight from

Washington to Taipei, Taiwan

Landing of the inaugural flight on June 26

Dulles International Airport is EVA Air’s 10th US destination and one of only two along the U.S. East Coast. This new flight is estimated to generate over $50 million annually in local economic impact.

“Today we come together to celebrate a historic milestone for Washington Dulles International Airport and the entire National Capital region,” said Jack Potter, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. “For the first time, residents and visitors can enjoy nonstop flights to Taiwan’s premier technology and cultural hub and easily continue a journey to dozens of key destinations across east and southeast Asia. In the same respect, we look forward to welcoming thousands of new visitors who can explore our world-class museums and famed monuments and savor the rich cultural diversity of Washington, D.C.”

Aviation enthusiasts enjoyed an exclusive tour of the airport via mobile lounge, including an up-close view of the aircraft landing. Closing out of the event, attendees received gifts to remember the special occasion.

“Washington Dulles International Airport serves as a vital gateway to the

nation’s capital area. We are immensely grateful for the strong support from all our

partners and guests that made expanding our network into the heart of America

possible,” said Clay Sun, President of EVA Air. “We see immense market potential

in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. This new route will seamlessly enhance

EVA Air’s network across the eastern United States, delivering premium service to

both business and leisure travelers alike.”

The schedule for the new service, effective June 27, 2026, is as follows:
