About EVA Air:
A Star Alliance member, EVA Air was founded in 1989 as Taiwan’s first privately owned international airline. It is an affiliated company of global container-shipping leader Evergreen Line. It flies a fleet of more than 80 Boeing and Airbus aircraft to around 60 international destinations throughout Asia, Oceania, Europe, and North America. Travelers can learn more about EVA and schedules, book, and buy tickets at www.evaair.com.

EVA Air remains at the forefront of innovation and advancing safety measures whenever possible. At the 81st International Air Transport Association (IATA) Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit (WATS), EVA Air President Clay Sun and IATA Director General Willie Walsh signed a cooperation agreement announcing EVA Air’s official membership in the IATA’s Turbulence Aware platform.

As climate patterns shift, turbulence is becoming more frequent, presenting a growing consideration for flight safety and operational planning. To ensure the safety of passengers and crew, EVA Air has joined the global effort to enhance real-time turbulence data sharing and improve predictive safety measures through this cutting-edge platform.

“Although technology is becoming more advanced, turbulence is still one of the most difficult weather conditions to predict. Mild turbulence may cause the aircraft to shake, while severe turbulence may cause structural damage to the aircraft which is the most undesirable situation,” said EVA Air President Clay Sun. “We believe that joining Turbulence Aware will help pilots and dispatchers to analyze real-time data, plan and choose appropriate flight paths to avoid areas with higher turbulence risks, and ensure the safety of passengers and aircraft.”

“We are delighted to have EVA Air join Turbulence Aware to further enhance the capabilities of crew and dispatchers around the world to improve flight safety, fuel efficiency and passenger comfort,” said IATA Director General Willie Walsh. “With the data reported by each airline, we can provide flight crews and dispatchers with a clearer picture, making the platform more helpful in reducing the impact of turbulence. In 2024, participating airlines generated a total of 51.8 million turbulence reports, a significant increase of 35% from 2023, which will be very beneficial in reducing the damage caused by turbulence.”

The platform currently includes 28 airlines sharing reports from over 2,700 aircraft. Once the platform compiles the data, it delivers real-time turbulence information to pilots through images, enabling them to make timely route adjustments and avoid affected areas. EVA Air will initially deploy a total of 33 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to participate in collecting and reporting data.

IATA is a non-governmental organization that represents the global airline industry. It has approximately 350 airline members, accounting for more than 80% of global air transport volume, and EVA Air is a proud member. The association aims to support several aviation activities and assist in formulating key aviation industry policies.

EVA Air is set to launch a significant upgrade to its in-flight Wi-Fi service this July, offering complimentary access to “Infinity MileageLands” members across all cabin classes.

To promote this upgrade, EVA Air plans to roll out a limited-time summer promotion, from July 1 to September 30, 2025, allowing all passengers—members and non-members alike—onboard Wi-Fi equipped aircraft (Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 787, and Airbus A330-300) to enjoy free unlimited web browsing Wi-Fi service.

Following the promotional period, complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi access will be available exclusively for Business Class passengers and “Infinity MileageLands” members, allowing them to stay connected to unlimited web browsing or text messaging. Whether it’s replying to work emails, chatting with friends and family, monitoring the stock market, or sharing travel photos on social media, staying connected in the sky has never been easier.

When booking a flight with EVA Air, members need to input their “Infinity MileageLands” membership number for the system to determine their eligible inflight Wi-Fi service. The plan description is as follows:

**Effective October 1, 2025, this plan applies to all EVA Air and UNI Air international flights.

For passengers flying on Airbus A321-200 aircraft, EVA Air has introduced a newly developed wireless in-flight entertainment system. Passengers can enjoy a wide selection of high-quality entertainment services by connecting their mobile devices or tablets to the onboard network and using personal earphones. The upgraded system is already being rolled out and is expected to be fully available across the fleet by early 2026.
