EVA plans to increase LA flights to seven per week
By Kao Shih-ching / Staff reporter
EVA Airways Corp (長榮航空) yesterday said it plans to offer more flights between Taipei and Los Angeles starting next week to meet increasing demand.
The airline currently offers three round-trip flights per week between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. It plans to raise the number to seven from Monday next week, with one flight per day, it said.
Despite the increase, the number of weekly flights would still be lower than EVA’s three flights per day prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, as most airlines have reduced their flights amid strict border controls since the onset of the pandemic last year.
