EVA is an airline that has many subtle facets throughout the travel industry. Worldwide distribution of products goes through their EVA Air Cargo subdivision. Their partnership with Evergreen land and sea shipping on a worldwide scale provides for a thriving freight hauling enterprise. On the other hand they do try to cover all angles with shipping. One of these ways is through their freight hauling network in Taiwan which handles short range domestic operations. An important aspect of the company is also their ability to lease airlines which makes them a considerable amount of money. {}

This company began to expand and succeed in greater ways than before, especially in the late 2000's marking very profitable quarters. There was no stopping this company now which was expanding to the eastern side of the United States in late 2007. Excellent news continued to follow with the reinstatement of Paris Taiwan flights. As usual, as with many other airlines, destination and schedule changes were all part of their daily schedule. With expansion as their primary goal, these subtle changes helped them achieve what they were striving to do.

From being deliberate in their though processes and being clever in their planning, EVA Air has had the ability to keep showing what is doable. They got some command early on in the nineties with a lot of mergers with localized airlines and chief alliances. Still, EVA lingered as the name of the company which acquired various airlines. In the face of having to make some immense cost-cutting changes at the start of the early 2000's, it still took them multiple years before they would reveal what their first profits were. The end of the first decade of the &quot;new millennium&quot; looks very optimistic and encouraging for Taiwan's airline.|The notoriety of certain airlines has resulted from their good business decisions despite their size. EVA Air is one such airline that has been around for just over twenty years. International destinations throughout the world including Asia are part of the routes of this little-known airline. Soon after they had opened for business, they were striving to become an international company which they were able to do in a short time. They are privately funded and not a publicly traded entity. History clearly shows that this airline, EVA, was bound and determined to get to the top every year. EVA Air has a very diverse fleet of aircraft each of which is designated according to the air routes they serve. They have a wide variety of airplanes including the Airbus A330, Boeing 747 airliners, and other assorted planes. Most of their freight is taken care of utilizing Boeing 747s and occasionally the McDonnell Douglas MD-11. The company decided to offer freighter services to complement existing passenger services. This is a widely used strategy among most, if not all, airline companies. As the gross domestic product continues to expand, so also will the need for freight liners to deliver what is ordered. Plus the operating expenses for freight are much less than passenger carrying.

Long-distance flights entered into the picture before the year 2000 and added over 20 international destinations for passengers worldwide. The popularity of this airline grew to over 3 million flights a year. They have a great safety record which is one of the primary motivations for people to fly with this company. The competitive nature of this company began to move forward as they could now compare their safety record against all the others. Toward the end of the 1990s, they applied for certifications that they were granted which allow them to enter new markets and gain additional business. {}

1990 was a pivotal point for EVA as they begin to require more long-haul airliners for international flights. Flights from the Orient to Southern California started to happen after they acquired Boeing 747-400's. Travelers were treated to premium economy class cabins at that time which was unusual in the industry. Flying to your destination on this airline was a treat because of the extra space and entertainment aspects. Flying to your destination was made very easy because of what you would receive. In the ensuing years including 1993, they began regular flights to New York, Seattle Washington, Vienna Austria and Bangkok Thailand. Surviving a worldwide economic collapse in the airline industry takes many drastic measures. What EVA has been through in their short history, is typical of companies in the airline industry. However, they have made strong moves to capture and consolidate the domestic Taiwan air passenger market. Passenger jets are needed for long haul international travel, and EVA has placed orders for expansion. The service that brought honors to EVA, is probably how they were able to get back to being profitable. As a non-public, international airline, what EVA has been able to do is very remarkable. They do not have the luxury of large public share backing due to that fact.
