EVA Air, the world’s first airline to introduce Premium Economy Class in 1992, is set to debut its all-new fourth-generation Premium Economy in the United States this fall. Launching on October 3, the redesigned cabin will make its U.S. premiere on the inaugural flight of EVA Air’s new Taipei–Dallas Fort Worth route.
The new Dallas-Fort Worth route, announced earlier this year, expands EVA Air’s growing U.S. network and marks a significant milestone as the airline becomes the first Asian carrier to serve two cities in Texas. The route will commence with three weekly flights using the fuel-efficient Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in a three-class configuration. Frequency will increase to five flights per week starting November 18, with daily service launching on December 15.
EVA Air’s new Premium Economy cabin, unveiled earlier this year, represents a significant leap forward in the airline’s cabin innovation. The redesigned section features 28 seats in a 2-3-2 layout, with an industry-leading seat pitch of 42 inches and a cradle-style recline that maximizes personal space. Passengers will also enjoy a 15.6-inch HD touchscreen, adjustable tray tables designed for digital devices, individual power outlets, ample storage and privacy panels designed to enhance both comfort and functionality during long-haul flights. Improved accessibility features have also been integrated to support a broader range of passenger needs.
Beyond seating, EVA Air has elevated the Premium Economy experience with thoughtfully curated amenities and a strong focus on sustainability. Passengers will enjoy plush pillows, eco-friendly double-sided blankets, high-quality headphones and in-flight tableware crafted in partnership with Italian brand Guzzini. Bamboo fiber napkins and other sustainable service items reflect the airline’s environmental commitment, while Royal Laurel Class toiletries and gourmet snacks add a refined touch at 30,000 feet.
This U.S. debut highlights EVA Air’s longstanding leadership in the Premium Economy category, which it introduced to the industry over 30 years ago. The rollout of the fourth-generation cabin marks a key step in the airline’s broader initiative to refresh its long-haul offerings and adapt to the changing needs of modern travelers. By blending innovation, sustainability and world-class service, EVA Air is redefining the transpacific travel experience—delivering a product that harmonizes comfort, practicality and environmental responsibility.
