### 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

TAT emphasizes the importance of air connectivity in developing long-haul markets
and reaching quality visitor segments. 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.
