Boeing (Chicago, Seattle and Charleston) and EVA Air (Seoul) yesterday (November 15) celebrated the unveiling of the airline’s new livery during a delivery ceremony for the carrier’s 22nd 777-300 ER (Extended Range).
“Today, we unveiled a new livery design to herald our continuing commitment to service innovation,” said EVA Chairman K.W. Chang. “EVA was a launch customer for the 777-300ER in 2005 and the aircraft has become the backbone of our long-haul fleet. By the end of 2017, we will be operating more than 30 Boeing 777-300ERs. These new generation Boeing 777-300ERs have significantly upgraded our in-flight service and cabin environment.”
EVA’s new corporate identity retains its original compass design, borrowed from the logo of its parent company, Evergreen Group, which symbolizes the airline’s seamless network and services. In the livery, the simplified tail design establishes the compass as the focal point for the EVA Air brand and represents the carrier’s commitment to quality service and flight safety.
EVA Air currently operates more than 36 Boeing airplanes, including 21 777-300 ERs. The airline plans to introduce seven more 777-300 ERs to its fleet by the end of 2016 and deploy them on North American routes.
The 777-300 ER is one of the most fuel and cost-efficient airplanes in its class as well as the most reliable twin-aisle aircraft in the world. It also has the highest cargo capability of any passenger airplane in service. The 777-300 ER will receive further improvements in 2016 designed to reduce fuel use by 2 percent.
