On Monday (April 7, 2025), Airbus announced that Taiwan’s EVA Air has placed a firm order for six long-range A350-100s and three A321neos, finalizing a commitment announced last month.  With the new order, EVA Air’s Airbus order backlog expands to 24 A350-100s and 18 A321neos.  The A350 Family has set new standards for intercontinental travel, offering the longest range of any commercial airliner in production today.  Powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce engines, the aircraft can fly up to 9,700 nautical miles (18,000 kilometers) nonstop, while using 25 percent less fuel and emissions compared to previous generation types.    


In Monday’s announcement, EVA Air’s President, Clay Sun, said,


“The new additions to our fleet reaffirm our commitment to sustainable aviation and delivering an exceptional travel experience.  Both the A350-1000 and A321neo set a high standard in their respective categories, offering remarkable efficiency and comfort to our passengers.  As we move forward with our fleet and network expansion plans, we look forward to leveraging the aircraft’s extended range and efficiency to strengthen our market position.”


Also commenting on the new order, Airbus Commercial Aircraft’s EVP – Sales, Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, said,


“EVA Air’s 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.  We deeply value EVA Air’s confidence in these latest generation aircraft and stand ready to support their seamless integration into the airline’s fleet for future success.”


Like all airbus aircraft, the A350 can currently operate on 50 percent SAF, and Airbus aims to have all of their aircraft 100 percent SAF capable by 2030.  To date, the A350 Family has won over 1,360 orders from 60 customers worldwide.  Currently, more than 640 of aircraft type are in the fleets of 38 operators, flying primarily on long-haul routes.  The Airbus A321neo incorporates new generation engines, Sharklets, and other technologies, which combine to deliver a 20 percent reduction in fuel use.  Since launching in 2016, the A321neo has received over 6,800 orders from more than 90 customers, capturing over 80 percent of the market share.
