Taiwanese airline EVA Air has confirmed a firm order for six long-range A350-1000 aircraft and three single-aisle A321neo aircraft, finalising a commitment initially announced in March 2025.<\/p>\n

This latest order increases EVA Air\u2019s backlog to a total of 24 A350-1000s and 18 A321neo aircraft awaiting delivery.<\/p>\n

The A350 is claimed to be the world\u2019s most modern widebody aircraft, setting new benchmarks for intercontinental travel.<\/p>\n

It boasts the longest range capability of any commercial airliner currently in production, with the ability to fly up to 9,700nm (18,000km) non-stop.<\/p>\n

The aircraft is powered by the latest generation of Rolls-Royce engines, achieving a 25% reduction in fuel consumption compared to previous generation models, alongside a similar decrease in carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

In line with industry sustainability efforts, the A350 can operate with up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with Airbus aiming for its aircraft to be capable of using 100% SAF by 2030.<\/p>\n

The A350 Family has garnered over 1,360 orders from 60 customers globally, with more than 640 aircraft currently in service across 38 operators, primarily on long-haul routes.<\/p>\n

EVA Air president Clay Sun said: \u201cThe new additions to our fleet reaffirm our commitment to sustainable aviation and delivering an exceptional travel experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the A350-1000 and A321neo set a high standard in their respective categories, offering remarkable efficiency and comfort to our passengers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The A321neo, part of the A320neo Family, features the latest technologies, including new generation engines, Sharklets, and cabin efficiency enhancements, collectively delivering a 20% improvement in fuel savings.<\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2016, the A321neo has received over 6,800 orders from more than 90 customers, capturing over 80% of the market share in its category.<\/p>\n

Airbus commercial aircraft business sales EVP Benoit de Saint-Exupery said: \u201cEVA Air\u2019s new orders underscore the enduring appeal of the A350-1000 Long Range Leader as the benchmark for intercontinental operations, and the A321neo as a leader in regional efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Airbus partnered with Japan Airlines<\/a>, Nippon Paper Industries, Sumitomo Corporation, and Green Earth Institute to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).<\/p>\n

This collaboration aims to support a low-carbon society and help the aviation industry reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, using bioethanol sourced from domestic wood.<\/p>\n
