EVA Air Upgrades Seattle Link

Posted 20/06/2011

Taiwanese carrier EVA Air is to boost capacity on its flights between Taipei Taoyuan and Seattle for a ten weeks during the Northern Winter 2011/2012 schedules.  The airline plans to operate a four times weekly link on the route during this period, but between November 16 and January 31, 2012 it will introduce a fifth weekly rotation and will use Boeing 747-400 rather than 777-300ER equipment.

The airline is the only operator on the route and carried an estimated 72,000 O&D passengers in the past year, accounting for 84 per cent of the total traffic on the route.  There is some leakage via Tokyo Narita with onward flights to the US by Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.  EVA Air has seen passenger numbers on the route fall by around 11.5 per cent in the past 12 months, although its yield on the route has strengthened significantly with average fares increasing by 10.5 per cent to $950 per sector.
