Late last year, EVA Air announced that it will begin service to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) beginning October 3, 2025. The announcement was first flagged by IshrionA on X.
Now, we have more information on the schedule that these flights flights will operate on as well as more information on frequency as the flights have officially been put on sale.
EVA Air Will Begin Service to Dallas-Ft. Worth
As I suspected, EVA Air will use the Boeing 777-300ER on the 7,718 mile flight between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) and DFW Airport. EVA Air’s 777-300s feature 333 seats spread across three cabins; 39 Business Class seats, 56 Premium Economy seats, and 238 Economy seats.
The carrier will operate flights 3x weekly on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays and will operate on the following schedule:
| Flight | Departs | Arrives |
|---|---|---|
| BR50 (TPE-DFW) | 7:45p | 7:05p |
| BR49 (DFW-TPE) | 10:50p | 5:25a (+2) |
Flights are blocked at 16h 35m westbound and 13h 20m eastbound. Flights are currently on sale via the airline’s website but, at the time of publishing they were not yet showing on Google Flights.
How Does DFW Fit into EVA Air’s Route Network?
When this route was first announced i found it to be an interesting addition to the EVA Air network. The Taiwanese carrier currently flies between its hub at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) which is a hub for United Airlines and a short distance away from DFW. EVA Air and United are both members of Star Alliance and provide plenty of connectivity on each end.
I speculated that the launch of this route was a defensive move as EVA looks to deter a fast growing competitor from launching the route. Starlux Airlines is a new Taiwanese carrier that has been growing rapidly and could be eyeing a OneWorld membership (American Airlines is one of the founding members of the alliance).
EVA is the latest carrier from Asia to launch service to DFW Airport, joining Cathay Pacific which is set to launch flights to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) later this week.
As a flyer based in Texas it is always great to see more international options, especially to Asia, and I’m excited to see EVA Air enter the Dallas Fort Worth market. The announcement by EVA Air is the latest in a long list of international route expansions at DFW and is a driving force behind the airport’s construction of a new Terminal F.
Summary
EVA Air is launching 3x weekly flights between Taipei and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport beginning in October 2025. Flights will operate Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

There is also a considerable Taiwanese population in DFW area, that said, i would assume even if they did, an entry of Starlux into the market would make the EVA service short-lived, given OneWorld member base in DFW. That said, it would still be the only Star Alliance carrier to over non-stop service to Asia…so there’s some hope. KE gives Skyteam base direct access.
IIRC EVA had a bus service from DFW to IAH in the past. If Starlux does enter the market even with EVA’s announcement I can see them pushing EVA out, especially if they cozy up to OneWorld more.
