The Taiwanese international airline has entrusted the global airline, travel and tourism representation organization, TAL Aviation, to handle its marketing, sales, public relations and business development in Russia.  Ekaterina Bakhtina, TAL Aviation Russia’s Country Manager will be responsible for the operations in this market.

EVA’s goal is to increase awareness of its exceptional Skytrax Five-Star Airline rated services and unsurpassed route network within Asia.  It operates direct flights to 4 European gateways – Amsterdam, London, Paris and Vienna.    With 82 weekly non-stop flights from its 8 North American gateways to Asia and easy, one-stop connections from Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) to over 45 major cities in Asia, EVA gives business and leisure travelers itinerary flexibility and welcomed convenience. 

EVA AIR operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft.  It took delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 in the autumn of 2018, the first "Dreamliner" in the Taiwanese aircraft industry.  It has started operation with the bigger 787-10 Dreamliner on the Vienna – Bangkok – Taipei route just yesterday.  EVA has configured its 787-10s for 342 passengers with 34 in Royal Laurel Class and 308 in Economy. This new Dreamliner model seats 8 more passengers in Royal Laurel and 30 more in Economy Class than its sister 787-9 aircraft.  

Says Nissim Sagis, TAL Aviation's CCO "we welcome our new partner.  EVA has shown through the number of awards it has been honored plus its consistency over the years, that it is a truly first-rate product.  Not only does it invest in providing an excellent service to its passengers but, no less importantly, it has proved over the years its dedication to safety.   Our Russian team look forward to selling their new product in their market, and providing an enjoyable service experience to their customers prior to take-off!"
