EVA Air to Launch New Nonstop Flights Between Delhi and Taipei in Late 2026
EVA Air, the renowned Taiwanese carrier, has officially announced its expansion into the Indian market with the introduction of nonstop flights between Delhi and Taipei. Starting December 1, 2026, this new service marks a significant step in regional aviation, providing travelers with a direct link that has been highly anticipated. As the only Taiwan-based airline to offer a nonstop passenger service on this route, EVA Air is set to transform the travel landscape for both business professionals and holidaymakers.
Bridging Two Dynamic Hubs
The decision to link the capital cities of India and Taiwan comes at a time of burgeoning economic and cultural exchange. With the rise of the semiconductor industry, artificial intelligence developments, and high-tech manufacturing, the ties between the two nations are stronger than ever. EVA Air’s President, Clay Sun, highlighted that this new route not only facilitates business travel but also provides a convenient gateway for Indian travelers looking to explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Taiwan.
Flight Schedule and Service Excellence
Operating five times a week, the airline will utilize the sophisticated Airbus A330-300 aircraft for this route. Passengers can expect the premium comfort and hospitality for which EVA Air—a Skytrax 5-star rated airline—is globally famous. The schedule is designed to optimize convenience:
- Flights from Taipei (BR367) will depart at 11:00 AM and land in Delhi at 3:35 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
- Return flights from Delhi (BR368) will take off at 7:55 PM, arriving in Taipei early the next morning at 4:20 AM.
This timing is particularly beneficial for those looking to maximize their stay or catch onward connections without long layovers.
Enhanced Connectivity via the Taipei Hub
One of the biggest advantages for travelers is the seamless connectivity Taipei offers to broader international destinations. Through its extensive network, EVA Air provides easy access to major cities in North America and across Asia. Indian travelers can now fly from Delhi and connect effortlessly to destinations like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Vancouver. Furthermore, the partnership with Star Alliance member Air India ensures that passengers from various Indian metropolitan cities can easily reach Delhi to join the Taipei-bound flights.
New Opportunities for Tourism and Education
The new route is expected to see diverse demand, ranging from researchers and international students to families visiting relatives. For Indian nationals heading to the United States or Canada, there are additional perks: the conditional visa-waiver transit program allows for smoother transit through Taiwan. This initiative is expected to encourage many to turn their stopover into a short holiday, exploring Taipei’s world-class dining, shopping, and scenic landscapes.
By launching this strategic link in 2026, EVA Air is not just opening a new flight path but fostering a stronger connection between two of Asia’s most vibrant economies. Whether it is for the tech-driven business corridors or the lush mountains of Taiwan, the new nonstop service promises a high-quality travel experience that brings India and East Asia closer together.
