A Quick Overview Of Taiwan's EVA Air And Its Ascent To Greatness

By Travis Ignatius Xavier


The name, EVA, derived from Evergreen Airways which was the original name of EVA. There are many ways to come up with a name for a business, and EVA comes from the letters in Evergreen Airways. The airline changed their name to the current version due to another flight company with the same first name. EVA flies out of the island country of Taiwan and provides services to Asian and international destinations. Airlines all pretty much experience the same things, so there histories are all pretty much the same. EVA had financial difficulties in the middle years of the 2000s, but they have survived and are profitable, once again.

2010 was an active year for EVA in many respects. They had expanded routes and management changes as well as bids for even more partnerships. The company developed a greater number of inroads to places in Canada with a new service route in to Toronto. Farther along in the year, they launched a connecting flight from Taipei to Tokyo. Taken as a whole, the year was potent as the company accounted that their annual profits had progressed. In the intermediate, there will be anticipation of new growth wherewithal. The explanation for this is EVA has placed their application with the Star Alliance of linked airlines. Subsequent to approval, EVA will have even more excellent things occurring for them.

Reaching out into many different parts of the aviation industry, EVA is very busy. Worldwide distribution of products goes through their EVA Air Cargo subdivision. Part of their freight hauling is actually done by land and sea using Evergreen to do their distribution. EVA tries to handle every possible shipping aspect available. In regional areas near their home base of Taiwan, they also do freight hauling through their integrated network. Their engineering department allows them to repair and design airlines opposed to outsourcing smaller jobs.

EVA encountered severe financial distress beginning in 2007 as fuel prices rose by almost 35%. Higher fuel costs gave EVA big losses, but they were not the only airline company to have the same problems. Even in Taiwan, an airline like EVA, is completely at the mercy of oil prices for the continuation of the business. The airline industry is a special type of business because it is so depending on lower fuel costs to continue to operate. They employed a variety of cost saving strategies including altering and reducing flight schedules plus some staff reductions in the US.

The financial stability of EVA is a testament to their good business practices and their devotion toward expansion and being the best. The fact that this airline is still in existence, especially considering where it came from, makes it a story that should motivate most people. The airline needed to secure their operations and coverage at home in Taiwan. This company has done very well over the last few decades through mergers into a larger EVA entity comprised of many Asian carriers. Their expansion and growth is the net result of good business practice as well as maintaining domestic flights in a safe and profitable manner.

Regardless of where you are going on your next holiday, or which airline you plan to use, be sure and get a lot of travel insurance before you leave. That way you know you will be insured regardless of what comes up. And you can look forward to an incredible time.
