About EVA Air
EVA Air is a Taiwanese international airline founded in 1989 as an affiliate of the Evergreen Group, the shipping and transport conglomerate built around Evergreen Marine. It carries the IATA code BR and the ICAO code EVA, and is headquartered in Luzhu, Taoyuan, near its main hub at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE). The carrier joined Star Alliance in June 2013. Its freight arm, EVA Air Cargo, began dedicated freighter operations in April 1995 and grew into one of the larger air-cargo operations in the Asia-Pacific region, complementing the passenger network with a distinct scheduled freighter schedule.
The cargo fleet is centred on the Boeing 777F, with roughly nine of the long-range twin-engine freighters in service as of 2024 to 2025. EVA Air retired earlier freighter types, including McDonnell Douglas MD-11F and Boeing 747-400F aircraft, in favour of the more fuel-efficient 777F. In 2024 the airline began fitting its 777F fleet with AeroSHARK riblet surface film to cut fuel burn. It also contracted Israel Aerospace Industries to convert three Boeing 777-300ER passenger jets into 777-300ERSF freighters from 2025, targeting a total freighter fleet of around 12 aircraft.
Beyond the dedicated freighters, EVA Air Cargo relies heavily on belly capacity in the holds of its passenger widebodies, including Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A330-300 aircraft. From the Taipei Taoyuan hub, the freighter network concentrates on trans-Pacific lanes to North American gateways such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Anchorage, and Atlanta, dense intra-Asia routes across Greater China and Southeast Asia, and connections to Europe. The carrier handles technology, electronics, semiconductors, e-commerce, and time-sensitive shipments that are central to Taiwan's export-driven manufacturing economy.
