Briefing
Four weekly, ~16‑hour nonstop roundtrips on 787‑9s from July 2026 add immediate long‑haul capacity and a new Premium Economy product into the U.S. mid‑Atlantic market.
The route strengthens EVA Air’s North America expansion and ties into its recent fleet moves — see its board‑approved 787‑9 purchase and plans to raise U.S. frequencies.
The launch alters competition at Washington Dulles, joining other recent transpacific entrants such as Air Premia’s planned IAD service.
