Taiwan’s EVA Air has ordered six long-range A350-1000s and three single-aisle A321neo aircraft, finalizing a commitment announced by the airline in March 2025.
The new orders will bring EVA Air’s backlog of aircraft to be delivered to 24 A350-1000s and 18 A321neo aircraft.
“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. As we move forward with our fleet and network expansion plans, we look forward to leveraging the aircraft’s extended range and efficiency to strengthen our market position,” 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. We deeply value EVA Air’s confidence in these latest generation aircraft and stand ready to support their seamless integration into the airline’s fleet for future success," said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP sales of the commercial aircraft business.
The A350 offers long-range capability and is powered by the latest generation of Rolls-Royce engines.
The aircraft is capable of flying up to 9,700 nautical miles / 18,000 kilometers non-stop, using 25% less fuel than previous generation types and with a similar reduction in carbon emissions.
The A350 is able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Airbus is targeting to have its aircraft up to 100% SAF capable by 2030.
