EVA AIR has introduced the latest generation of its Premium Economy Class seats, offering the industry-leading seat pitch of 107 centimeters. The airline unveiled the seats during a special event, underlining its commitment to an improved passenger experience.
Introducing the new seat design
EVA AIR has unveiled the fourth generation of its Premium Economy Class seats, designed to offer new levels of comfort and style. The seats were introduced by EVA AIR President Clay Sun at the “Focus on Evolution: Taking Off with Heart” event at the Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation hangar. This innovation marks a step towards a business class-like experience for premium economy passengers.
Environmentally conscious ferry flight
The newly delivered Boeing 787-9 with Premium Economy Class completed its ferry flight to Taiwan with 30 percent use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This step led to the saving of around 63,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide, which underlines the airline’s environmental responsibility. EVA AIR is setting an example for sustainable flying.
Special features of the new Premium Economy Class
The new Premium Economy Class offers 28 seats in a 2-3-2 configuration. Seating comfort is increased by a cradle tilt mechanism that creates an optimized seating position. Travelers benefit from 15.6-inch widescreen monitors and a multifunctional entertainment system. Combined 110V sockets and USB ports also ensure passenger comfort.
Expanded flight routes and passenger comfort
The Boeing 787-9 with the new equipment will initially be used on the route from Taiwan to Jakarta and later on European and US flights, including to Munich and San Francisco. The improved comfort is reflected in generously sized storage areas and wheelchair-accessible armrests, which make barrier-free access to the seats easier.
EVA AIR is a leading airline with a comprehensive three-class service offering that focuses on innovation and customer satisfaction. With the introduction of Premium Economy Class, the airline strengthens its commitment to an upscale flight experience and continues to set standards in the aviation industry.
EVA AIR presents new amenity kits
EVA AIR announces that it is launching new amenity sets in collaboration with British brand HUNTER. Offered on long-haul flights in Premium Economy Class, these stylish and functional sets underline the airline’s commitment to comfort, style and sustainability.
Exclusive collaboration with HUNTER
EVA AIR announces that, in collaboration with the renowned HUNTER brand, it will offer new amenity kits in its Premium Economy Class on long-haul flights to the USA, Canada and Europe. The kits are available in stylish olive green and beige and feature an outdoor design with a removable strap. The contents include lotion and lip balm from HUNTER, which are intended to offer passengers a refreshing care experience during long flights.
Commitment to sustainability and comfort
The airline highlights that it will continue its commitment to high quality and environmentally friendly service items. This is reflected in the use of environmentally friendly materials, such as pillows and double-sided blankets, exclusive headphones and customized tableware developed with the Italian brand Guzzini, among others. In addition, napkins made from bamboo fibers reinforce the commitment to sustainability.
Expansion of the fleet
EVA AIR plans to expand its fleet by 2029 with new Boeing 787-9 and 787-10 aircraft, offered in two- and three-class configurations. In addition, the introduction of 18 Airbus A350-1000 long-haul aircraft is planned from 2027 and 15 Airbus A321neo from 2029. These extensions are intended to offer customers even more convenience and choice.
Pioneering work in Premium Economy Class
EVA AIR recalls that it was the first airline to introduce the Premium Economy Class in 1992 under the name “Evergreen Deluxe Class”. This innovative class already offered a new option between economy and business class and introduced larger seats of around 97 centimeters as well as personal TV systems. Continuous improvements in Premium Economy Class have resulted in EVA AIR receiving numerous awards, including from SKYTRAX.
EVA AIR is known for its focus on premium service and technological innovations in air transport. With a long-standing tradition of pioneering the industry, the airline strives to offer its passengers the highest levels of comfort, style and environmental awareness. The company remains true to its line of excellence and sustainability.
