==History==
===Launch===
[[File:EVA Air Boeing 767-300ER Stegmeier.jpg|thumb|EVA Air began commercial services in 1991 with the [[Boeing 767-300ER]]]]
In September 1988, during the 20th anniversary celebration of [[Evergreen Marine]]'s founding, company chairman [[Chang Yung-fa]] announced his company's intentions to establish Taiwan's first [[Privately held company|private]] international airline.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> The opportunity to create a major Taiwanese airline had just arisen following a decision by the [[Government of the Republic of China|Taiwanese government]] to [[Liberalisation|liberalise]] the country's air transportation system.<ref name="EVAprofile" /><ref name="EVApresident" /> At this time, the government still required global experience and [[financial capital]] requirements for any company seeking permission to initiate [[Airline#International|international airline]] service from Taiwan.<ref name="lloyds">{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Lloyd's List]]|title=Evergreen: Evergreen Ambitions Reach for the Skies|date=August 1994|pages=24–26}}</ref>

Upon receipt of regulatory approval, EVA Airways Corporation was formally established in March 1989.<ref name="lloyds" /> The airline was originally to be called Evergreen Airways,<ref name="nytimes">{{cite web|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE7DA163CF934A35753C1A96F948260|title=Boeing and McDonnell Get Taiwan Jet Order|date=7 October 1989|website=[[The New York Times]]|last=Lev|first=Michael|access-date=18 May 2008}}</ref> however this was deemed too similar to the unrelated [[Evergreen International Airlines|Evergreen International]] cargo airline.<ref name="EVAhistory">{{cite web|url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/eva-airways-corporation-history/|title=EVA Airways Corporation History|website=FundingUniverse|access-date=18 May 2008}}</ref> In October 1989, the newly formed EVA Airways Corporation placed a [[US$]]3.6 billion order for 26 aircraft from Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, including Boeing 747-400 and MD-11 airliners.<ref name="nytimes" />

===Expansion in the 1990s===
In 1992, EVA Air received the first of its Boeing 747-400 aircraft on order, and launched its premium economy class, "[[#Cabin classes|Economy Deluxe]]", on its 747 [[Pacific Ocean|transpacific]] flights to [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], beginning in December of that year.<ref name="EVAprofile" /><ref name="EVAhistory" /> EVA Air's premium economy cabin was the first in the world<ref>{{cite web |url=https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2018/01/04/seeking-premium-economys-launch-airline-unearths-historical-quirks/ |title=Seeking premium economy's launch airline unearths historical quirks |website=runwaygirlnetwork.com |date= 5 January 2018|access-date=28 January 2018}}</ref><ref name="EVAhistory" /><ref>EVA History says one of the first, Virgin Atlantic released a press release first but cannot document that it was a few months earlier than EVA</ref> featured a wider 2-4-2 abreast configuration,<ref name="EVAprofile" /> legrests, individual [[In-flight entertainment|seatback video]], and enhanced meal services.

By 1994, EVA Air was providing regular service to 22 destinations worldwide, and carrying over 3 million passengers annually.<ref name="EVAhistory" /> In 1995, the airline posted its first [[Profit (accounting)|profit]] on revenues of [[US$]]1.05 billion, one year ahead of schedule.<ref name="EVAprofile" /><ref name="EVApresident" /><ref name="EVAhistory" /> Internationally, EVA Air's rapid expansion and increased passenger volume was boosted by its safety record, in contrast to its primary competitor, [[China Airlines]].<ref name="EVAprofile" /><ref name="safety">Sicherheitsbilanz 2006 (Safety record 2006) ''Aero International'', March 2007, p. 93</ref> In addition to receiving IOSA ([[IATA Operational Safety Audit]]) certification,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/safety/audit/iosa/Pages/operator.aspx?c=EVA|title=IOSA Registry: EVA Airways Corporation|year=2010|publisher=[[International Air Transport Association]]|access-date=12 July 2010|archive-date=24 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130524062929/http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/safety/audit/iosa/Pages/operator.aspx?c=EVA|url-status=dead}}</ref> EVA Air in 1997 achieved simultaneous official [[ISO 9000|ISO 9002]] certification in the areas of Passenger, Cargo, and Maintenance Services.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.evaair.com/en-global/about-eva-air/news/news-releases/2021-01-19-jacdec-evaair-20.html |title=European Airline Industry Magazine Gives EVA Air High Safety Ranking|date=14 March 2006|website=Asia Pacific News|access-date=7 September 2008}}</ref>

Dedicated EVA Air Cargo operations began in April 1995, with the first weekly [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]] freighter flights to [[Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport|Taipei]], Singapore, [[Bayan Lepas International Airport|Penang]], [[San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco]], New York, and Los Angeles.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> EVA Air Cargo's fleet was expanded to five freighters by the end of the year.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> Previously, EVA Air Cargo operations mainly relied on passenger aircraft cargo space.

In the mid-1990s, EVA Air expanded into the domestic Taiwan market by acquiring shares in [[Makung International Airlines]], followed by [[Great China Airlines]] and [[Taiwan Airways]]. On 1 July 1998, all three carriers, as well as EVA's existing domestic operations, merged under the UNI Air title.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> UNI Air became EVA Air's domestic intra-Taiwanese subsidiary, operating short haul flights out of its base in [[Kaohsiung International Airport|Kaohsiung]],<ref name="EVAprofile" /> Taiwan's southern port and second-largest city.

===Maturation in the early 2000s===
In 2000, EVA Air embarked on its first major long-haul fleet renewal. The airline became one of the launch customers for the Boeing 777-300ER, ordering four aircraft plus eight options.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> At the same time, the airline placed three orders for the [[Boeing 777-200LR]]. In January 2001, EVA Air ordered its first Airbus aircraft, the [[Airbus A330|A330-200]]. The Boeing 777 aircraft were intended for United States and European services, while the Airbus A330 aircraft were intended for regional Asian routes.<ref name="EVAprofile" />

[[File:B-16727@PEK (20190828182039).jpg|thumb|EVA Air's long-haul flagship, the Boeing 777-300ER, landing at [[Beijing Capital International Airport]] from [[Taoyuan Airport|Taipei]]. EVA Air started offering regular cross-strait flights on routes such as this in 2008.]]

In 2001, EVA Air began listing [[stock|public stock]] offerings on the [[Taiwan Stock Exchange]].<ref name="EVAhistory" /> Initially, one percent of the company's shares was offered [[over-the-counter (finance)|over-the-counter]], with one-quarter held by parent company Evergreen Marine Corporation and EVA Air employees, respectively.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> In 2002, EVA Air underwent internal corporate reforms, with staff reductions and streamlined management.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> This culminated a process which had begun in 1997, when the [[1997 Asian financial crisis|Asian financial crisis]] began affecting profitability.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> The 2002–2003 [[SARS]] contagion also affected passenger traffic for medium-haul flights in [[Southeast Asia]], while long-haul flights to North America, Japan, and Europe were less affected.<ref name="EVAprofile" />

In 2004, EVA Air converted its remaining eight options for Boeing 777-300ERs into firm orders.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-127540092.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611141146/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-127540092.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 June 2014|title=EVA Airways Corp.'s aircraft purchase contract|date=June 2004|publisher=Airports International|access-date=3 April 2012}}</ref> The first Boeing 777-300ER entered service as EVA Air's new [[flagship]] aircraft in July 2005. With the arrival of its new Boeing 777s, EVA Air launched a comprehensive revamp of its cabins, introducing lie-flat seats in its new Premium Laurel business class cabin, and upgrading its premium economy product to the new Elite Class cabin.<ref name="EVAclass">EVA to unveil new Boeing 777. ''Travel Weekly'', Issue 1789, 30 November 2005, p 61–61.</ref> The airline's A330s were introduced with two-class Premium Laurel and Economy cabins. In December 2005, EVA Air and its associated divisions had 5,098 employees, and the airline's network spanned 40 passenger destinations worldwide, with additional cargo destinations.<ref name="annual06" />

EVA Air has differentiated its onboard service by using [[Taiwanese Hokkien|Taiwanese]] (Hokkien), [[Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]], [[Hakka Chinese|Hakka]], English, and other languages for its in-flight cabin announcements.<ref name="taiwanjournal" /> The order of Hokkien and Mandarin has varied since the carrier's launch.

===Branding===
====Name and logo====
The name "EVA" was taken from two letters of "Evergreen" and the first letter of "Airways." The name "EVA" is always spelled in [[capital letter]]s and is pronounced "E-V-A". However, the ICAO callsign is pronounced “Eva”. The airline uses the logo of its parent company, using green with an orange trim. The orange trim was removed on the current logo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.evaair.com.tw/english/com/eco1.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970422125734/http://www.evaair.com.tw/english/com/eco1.htm|title=Corporate Image|publisher=EVA Airways|archive-date=22 April 1997|access-date=29 September 2009}}</ref>

====Livery and uniforms====
[[File:Boeing 747-400 (EVA Air) B-16406 IAH.jpg|thumb|An EVA Air Cargo Boeing 747-400BDSF in the 2001–2015 livery|alt=Double-deck aircraft in flight, with deployed landing gear]]

The standard EVA Air [[Aircraft livery|livery]] utilizes dark green, signifying [[Durable goods|durability]],<ref name="janesguide" /> and orange, representing technological [[innovation]].<ref name="janesguide" /> Originally, both the globe and background behind the globe were painted a respective shade of green on their initial 767-300ERs in 1991.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" /> This was later changed to the first standard scheme on all other aircraft.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aviation Photo #0996206: Boeing 767-3T7/ER - EVA Air |url=https://www.airliners.net/photo/EVA-Air/Boeing-767-3T7-ER/996206 |access-date=2023-01-07 |website=Airliners.net}}</ref> The tail globe logo is intended to represent [[flight dynamics|stability]] and [[Reliability engineering|reliability]], and its positioning on the tail, with one corner off the edge, represents service innovation.<ref name="janesguide" /> The first standard EVA Air livery was updated in 2002, adding a larger [[typeface]] and the use of green covering the aircraft below the window line. The tail design and logo remained unchanged. In late 2015, EVA Air redesigned the livery and tail logo, using the dark green color on the belly, and cancelled the orange line on the edge of the tail to highlight the [[corporate identity]].

Since 2003, EVA Air has adopted its current uniform, featuring dark green dresses with cropped jackets. [[Purser|Chief pursers]] are distinguished by orange highlights, gold bands, and orange stripes; [[flight attendant]]s feature green trim and white stripes. The current uniform replaced the former green-and-orange necktie ensembles used in EVA Air's first twelve years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.evaair.com/html/b2c/english/eva/News/2003/Apr_7_2003+-+EVA+GETS+NEW+LOOK.htm|title=EVA Air gets New Look|year=2003|publisher=EVA Airways|access-date=7 September 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080706115519/http://www.evaair.com/html/b2c/english/eva/News/2003/Apr_7_2003+-+EVA+GETS+NEW+LOOK.htm|archive-date=6 July 2008}}</ref>

====Marketing slogans====
EVA Air has used different [[slogans]] throughout its operational history. The first slogan appeared on English language advertising in the United States,<ref name="EVAad">EVA Air advertisements, ''Newsweek'' (1992), and ''National Geographic'' (1996)</ref> while the 1996 and 2003 versions were introduced internationally in both English and Mandarin. In 2005, a second "Sharing the world" slogan was introduced to complement the arrival of the airline's Boeing 777s.<ref name="777slogan">{{cite web|url=http://www.tma-online.at/?id=2417|title=EVA AIR: Erste B777-300ER im Anflug|date=19 July 2005|publisher=Travel Management Austria|last=Reitshammer|first=Christiane|access-date=16 September 2008}}</ref> EVA Air slogans have been as follows:

Its cargo operations have diversified to include transportation of high-tech equipment and special care items such as [[Art museum|museum artwork]]<ref>{{cite magazine|title=EVA air moves masterpieces from France to Taiwan exhibit|magazine=World Trade|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-81298645.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170305035311/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-81298645.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 March 2017|date=1 January 2002}}</ref> and live [[zoo]]logical [[Biological specimen|specimens]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bne.com.au/files/pdf/quest_04Nov25.pdf |title=Operation animal airlift|date=November 2004|publisher=Brisbane Airport|access-date=7 September 2008|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070901204849/http://bne.com.au/files/pdf/quest_04Nov25.pdf |archive-date = 1 September 2007}}</ref> EVA Air has stated its goal of achieving a 50/50 split in revenues between its passenger and cargo operations.<ref name="EVAprofile" /> The airline's cargo operations are mainly operated via a fleet of Boeing 747-400,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/13888490-post6.html|title=Compiled info for EVA Airways & TransAsia Airways|publisher=FlyerTalk|location=Taipei, Taiwan|date=10 August 2010|access-date=10 August 2010}}</ref> MD-11 dedicated freighters, Boeing 747-400 Combi aircraft, and additional belly cargo space on passenger aircraft.<ref name="EVAprofile" />

As of 2007, EVA Air Cargo had 43 weekly cargo flights to London, Vienna, Brussels and US destinations including Los Angeles, [[Dallas]]/[[Fort Worth]], [[Chicago]], [[Atlanta]] and New York. The carrier also has code-shares with international airlines including [[Air Nippon]] (a subsidiary of All Nippon Airways), [[British Airways World Cargo]], [[Austrian Airlines]] and [[Lufthansa Cargo]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.avbuyer.com.cn/e/2008/24649.html|title= Air cargo excellence survey ranks EVA 6th among top 50 carriers|date=3 April 2008|publisher=AV Buyer|access-date=7 September 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722041750/http://www.avbuyer.com.cn/e/2008/24649.html|archive-date=22 July 2011}}</ref>

EVA Air service divisions further include pilot and cabin attendant training facilities, along with its Evergreen Sky Catering and Evergreen Airline Services ground support divisions. EVA Air has partnered with [[General Electric]] since 1998 to operate the [[Evergreen Group#Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation|Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation]] (EGAT), a heavy maintenance and aircraft overhaul service.<ref name="egat">The world's largest air freighter.

Most EVA Air flights originate out of [[Taoyuan International Airport]], its main hub near Taipei, Taiwan.<ref name="EVAhistory" /> At Taoyuan International Airport, EVA Air's flight operations are concentrated in Terminal 2. Additionally, EVA Air and its domestic subsidiary UNI Air operate numerous flights out of [[Kaohsiung International Airport]].<ref name="EVAprofile" /> A focus city for EVA Air outside of Taiwan is [[Bangkok]], (its main hub being [[Suvarnabhumi Airport]]), with westerly connections to all its European destinations except for [[Charles de Gaulle Airport|Paris]], [[Munich Airport|Munich]], and [[Milan Malpensa Airport|Milan]] which are flown non-stop. [[Vienna Airport|Vienna]] is served both non-stop from Taipei<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/br65 |website=EVA Air flight BR65, flightradar24 |access-date=16 April 2024 |title=Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map }}</ref> and via Bangkok.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/br61 |website=EVA Air flight BR61, flightradar24 |access-date=16 April 2024 |title=Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map }}</ref>

Through the mid-2000s, EVA Air's route network was affected by the [[political status of Taiwan]], which has historically limited access for Taiwanese airlines to Europe and certain Asian countries. Because Taiwanese carriers did not have direct access to China, EVA Air has used [[Hong Kong]], Bangkok and [[Macau]] as [[Interlining|interline]] destinations.<ref name="EVAcargo" /> EVA Air operated regular charter flights to China in 2008. The airline began regularly scheduled, direct cross-strait operations in December 2008, following the restoration of direct travel links.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.taiwantoday.tw/ct.asp?xItem=47483&CtNode=429|title=Direct links to provide new business opportunities|date=2 January 2009|newspaper=Taiwan Journal|last=Chang|first=Meg|access-date=18 January 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718010432/http://www.taiwantoday.tw/ct.asp?xItem=47483&CtNode=429|archive-date=18 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A [[Houston]] ([[George Bush Intercontinental Airport]]) route was opened in June 2015, and service to Chicago ([[O'Hare International Airport]]) began on 2 November 2016, using a 777-300ER, as part of a planned increase in North American flights from 58 flights to 77 flights a week.

EVA Air launched a new year-round service to [[Istanbul]] on 5 March 2016, operating 777-300ER aircraft. This route was first downgraded to a seasonal frequency and then cancelled altogether by September 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/268884/eva-air-cancels-istanbul-service-resumption-in-s17/|website=Routesonline|title=EVA Air cancels Istanbul service resumption in S17|date=15 September 2016|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916203432/http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/268884/eva-air-cancels-istanbul-service-resumption-in-s17/|author-last1=Liu|author-first1=Jim}}</ref> EVA Air also launched daily service to Cebu, Philippines on 27 March 2016 using A321-200 aircraft. Furthermore, EVA Air expanded its Southeast Asian services by offering daily flights to Chiang Mai on 1 July 2018.

In November 2024, EVA Air president Clay Sun revealed that the airline will commence flight from Taipei to [[Dallas]] beginning 3 November 2025. Dallas will be the airline's 7th destination in the [[United States]] after [[Houston]], [[New York City|New York]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Chicago]], [[Seattle]] and [[San Francisco]]. This will also mark Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, to be the fifth [[Asia|Asian]] city to service nonstop route to [[Dallas Fort Worth International Airport|Dallas-Fort Worth]] after [[Tokyo]], [[Seoul]], [[Hong Kong]] and [[Shanghai]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eva Air will fly Taiwan-Dallas route |url=https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Airline-News/Eva-Air-flying-Taiwan-Dallas-route |access-date=2024-12-02 |website=www.travelweekly.com |language=en}}</ref>

===Special liveries===
In October 2005, EVA Air launched a campaign with Japanese company [[Sanrio]] to create the "Hello Kitty Jet," featuring the popular Japanese character.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-137749611.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926085537/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-137749611.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 September 2013|title=Hello Kitty to fly on Taiwan's Eva Air|date=20 October 2005|publisher=Kyodo News International|access-date=3 April 2012}}</ref> Using the airline's A330-200, the exterior adopted a livery of [[Hello Kitty]] characters. A year later, the airline launched a second Hello Kitty Jet. The aircraft featured a Hello Kitty motif on exterior and interior furnishings and features.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2006/10/21/2003332749/print|title=EVA panders to Hello Kitty fans|date=21 October 2006|newspaper=Taipei Times|last=Ho|first=Jessie|access-date=25 May 2008|archive-date=10 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190610104359/http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2006/10/21/2003332749/print|url-status=dead}}</ref> Both aircraft were used to serve Japanese destinations,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/executive-style/culture/i-am-kitty-hear-me-purr-20090518-b8s9.html|title=I am Kitty; hear me purr|date=5 September 2008|newspaper=The Daily Yomiuri|last=Baker|first=Tom|access-date=7 September 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821132036/http://www.theage.com.au/executive-style/culture/i-am-kitty-hear-me-purr-20090518-b8s9.html|archive-date=21 August 2009}}</ref> and from mid–July 2007, also Taipei-Hong Kong routes. The original Hello Kitty livery was retired in 2009, but in 2011 EVA Air announced its return in redesigned form to mark the carrier's 20th anniversary and renew interest in Japanese tourism.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?Type=aLIV&ID=201108060020 |title=EVA Air's 'Hello Kitty' aircraft set for a comeback|website=Focus Taiwan|publisher=Central News Agency|date=6 August 2011|access-date=28 August 2011}}</ref> For this occasion, EVA Air had ordered brand-new Airbus A330-300s to be painted in an all-new Hello Kitty livery, which the first three were the ''Hello Kitty with Magic Stars'', ''Hello Kitty Loves Apples'', and ''Hello Kitty Around the World''.

After the introduction of the "refreshed" Hello Kitty Livery on three EVA Air A330s, EVA Air decided to introduce two additional Hello Kitty A330 jets, launched in May and June 2012. The fourth and fifth Hello Kitty jets are known as ''Hello Kitty Speed Puff'' and ''Hello Kitty Happy Music'' respectively. In 2013, the carrier rolled out its sixth Hello Kitty jet ''Hand in Hand'', this time on a Boeing 777-300ER, until it was repainted into the new EVA Air livery in May 2021. The aircraft featured all the main characters from the [[Sanrio]] family. In 2015, the seventh and final Hello Kitty jet, Kikilala-themed ''Shining Star'' Boeing 777-300ER, rolled out, until it was re-themed into ''Besties''.<ref name="Shining Star"/>

In 2017, the first three of the Hello Kitty jets, ''Hello Kitty with Magic Stars'', ''Hello Kitty Loves Apples'', and ''Hello Kitty Around the World'' were re-themed into ''[[Badtz-Maru|Bad Badtz-Maru]] Travel Fun'', ''Joyful Dream'', and ''Celebration Flight'' respectively. At the same time, the [[Gudetama]] ''Comfort Flight'' were added onto the A321, and the ''Hello Kitty Speed Puff'' and ''Hello Kitty Happy Music'' were phased out.

In November 2024, an Airbus A321-200 was painted in the Hello Kitty '' Pinky'' jet.

===Fleet plans===
The majority of EVA Air's long-haul fleet is based on the Boeing 777-300ER, with the carrier's initial order for 15 all delivered by 2011. In 2006, the airline decided against proceeding with an order for two Boeing 777-200LR (stating that with the 777-300ERs would give it sufficient passenger capacity), and they were converted into orders for two 777-200F cargo aircraft.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/eva-bolsters-cargo-with-order-swap-210660/ |title=EVA bolsters cargo with order swap|date=21 November 2006|publisher=Reed Business Information |website=Flightglobal |last=Francis|first=Leithen |access-date=18 May 2008}}</ref> In late 2010, EVA Air indicated it planned to lease three A330-300 aircraft for Asian routes in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2010/11/11/2003488210|title=Major air companies expanding fleets to meet China demand|work=Taipei Times|access-date=13 November 2010|date=2 November 2010}}</ref> In mid-2011, EVA Air announced plans to acquire further 777-300ERs to complete the replacement of its 747-400 aircraft on Europe and US routes, along with A321 series narrow-body jets to replace its MD-90 fleet.<ref name="fleetplan">{{Cite web|url=http://news.cens.com/cens/html/en/news/news_inner_36749.html|title=EVA Airways Budgets NT$100 B. to Purchase 25 New Planes|work=Taiwan Economic News|access-date=28 June 2011|date=27 June 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110701094643/http://news.cens.com/cens/html/en/news/news_inner_36749.html|archive-date=1 July 2011}}</ref> On 8 May 2012, EVA Air signed orders with Boeing for three additional 777-300ERs, and also announced a lease of four more 777-300ERs.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-08/more-eva-air-signs-deal-with-boeing-to-buy-3-b777-300er-planes.html |title=MORE: EVA Air Signs Deal With Boeing to Buy 3 B777-300ER Planes|publisher=Bloomberg |first=Yu-Huay |last=Sun|date=8 May 2012|access-date=8 May 2012}}</ref> Due to falling freight demand, the airline restructured its cargo fleet by retiring its McDonnell Douglas MD-11s.

EVA announced in late 2015 that it would be retiring all of its leased A330-200 aircraft by the end of 2016, replacing them with the newly ordered A330-300s.{{cn|date=February 2024}}

Following the changes of air traffic demand due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the airline switched 7 787-10s with 4 787-9s and 3 777Fs. Regarding the replacement of the 777-300ER passenger aircraft, the airline ordered 18 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft in November 2023 to replace the first batch models (those built between 2005 and 2010), three of which would be converted to freighters under EVA Air Cargo to supplement the 777-200F. The later batch models (those built between 2014 and 2017) can be replaced with either the [[777-9]] or additional A350-1000 orders. As with the older Airbus fleet, 15 [[A321neo]]s are ordered from Airbus to replace the older A321's, while the A330s are planned to be replaced by further 787 orders by 2029.{{cn|date=February 2024}}

===747 retirements===
As the 777s continued to phase in, the 747s were progressively retired. On 5 January 2015, EVA Air retired its first 747 variant, the 747-400M Combi. In 2016, EVA announced that the last 747-400 passenger service would be mid-May 2017. The airline also plans to retire the 747 freighters when the 777 freighters are delivered. EVA retired the Boeing 747-400 passenger aircraft from its fleet on 21 August 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/picture-eva-air-retires-boeing-747-400-passenger-ai-440440/|title=PICTURE: EVA Air retires Boeing 747-400 passenger aircraft|date=21 August 2017|access-date=29 May 2018}}</ref> The following year, the production 747 freighters were retired, leaving the converted 747 freighters in service until 2019.

* '''16 December 2016''': EVA Air Flight 015, a [[Boeing 777-300ER]] (registered as B-16726) from [[Los Angeles International Airport]] to [[Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport]] narrowly missed colliding with [[Air Canada Flight 788]] on takeoff, and subsequently nearly impacted [[Mount Wilson (California)|Mount Wilson]] above [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]. With takeoffs that evening rerouted to the rarely used eastbound departure due to weather, the Los Angeles air traffic controller mistakenly told the pilot to turn left instead of right (as they would if the aircraft were taking off westbound, over the ocean). The aircraft complied, and instead headed north, climbing to {{convert|5000|ft|m|adj=mid}} as it headed towards {{convert|5710|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} Mt. Wilson. The EVA aircraft was forced to take evasive action, and climb to {{convert|6000|ft|m}}, missing Mt. Wilson by less than {{convert|600|ft|m}}. [[Air Canada Flight 788]], also departing Los Angeles, was taking the same route as the EVA aircraft and was forced to climb to {{convert|10,000|ft|m}} in evasive action.<ref>{{cite web|title=Flight controller accidentally sends jet on course toward Mt.

* '''2 December 2017''': EVA Air Flight 035, a [[Boeing 777-300ER]] (registered as B-16718) was taxiing for departure at [[Toronto Pearson International Airport]], struck a pole while taxiing in darkness. The aircraft suffered significant damage on its right leading edge and wing surface. The aircraft had not been taxiing on the centerline after [[deicing]] and therefore lacked wing clearance with the light pole.  The flight was then cancelled.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/eva-777-300er-wing-damaged-by-pole-strike-443835/|title=EVA 777-300ER wing damaged by pole strike|date=4 December 2017|work=Flightglobal.com|access-date=4 December 2017|language=en-GB}}</ref>
