EVA Air’s New Route Boosts Travel to Thailand
Bangkok, 29 June 2026 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) celebrated the launch of EVA Air’s new route connecting Washington Dulles International Airport to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. This service enhances one-stop travel options from North America to Bangkok and other Thai destinations. The route operates four times a week, starting from 26 June 2026, with flight durations ranging from 15 to 16 hours, providing a convenient gateway for travelers from the U.S. and Canada via Taipei.
Enhanced Connectivity Between North America and Thailand
EVA Air expands its North American network with the Washington DC–Taipei service, complementing its existing Thailand–Taiwan routes. The airline offers up to 32 Bangkok–Taipei flights weekly during its Summer 2026 schedule, with a flight time of around four hours. Additional connections include services to Chiang Mai and Phuket, broadening access to Northern and Southern Thailand. This connectivity supports travel from the U.S. to key Thai destinations through EVA Air and its partners.
Marketing Thailand’s Unique Travel Experiences

The Washington DC–Taipei service, operated by a 278-seat Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, strengthens travel links from a major U.S. gateway. TAT’s “Value over Volume” approach focuses on quality travel, responsible tourism, and enriching visitor experiences. Under the theme “Healing is the New Luxury,” Thailand is promoted as a year-round destination offering wellness, culture, nature, and meaningful local connections.
