Milan, September 8, 2025 – A new chapter in air travels between Italy and Asia is about to begin. Starting January 16, 2026, EVA Air will introduce daily direct flights between Milan Malpensa and Taipei, offering travellers a convenient, daily connection to the heart of Asia. The Boeing 787-9 aircraft will, as always, be configured with three classes: Economy, Premium Economy, and Royal Laurel.
With this initiative, the airline strengthens its commitment to the Italian market and helps create a privileged bridge for cultural, tourism, and trade exchanges between the two countries. Italy, a reference point for Europe and one of the world’s most popular travel destinations, and Taiwan, a dynamic Asian hub with one of the most innovative economies, will now be connected by a route that will make travel even more comfortable and accessible.
The daily flight will offer new opportunities for both Italian travellers interested in exploring Taipei and Asia, as well as Taiwanese tourists and professionals wishing to reach Italy. This will make it easier to plan business trips, cultural vacations, or extended stays, with the guarantee of the quality and reliability that have always distinguished EVA Air.
Eric Hsueh, General Manager of EVA Air’s Italian subsidiary, said:
“We are extremely proud to announce this new service, which represents a milestone for our company and for Italian travellers. The new daily direct flight between Milan Malpensa and Taipei responds to the growing market demand and confirms our commitment to investing in Italy with a high-quality offer. We will offer our passengers not only a daily, practical and comfortable connection, but also the full quality of EVA Air’s internationally recognized service. Thanks to the new frequency of the route, travellers will have direct access to Taiwan and will be able to connect consistently and efficiently to many other Asian destinations.”
The introduction of this new service confirms EVA Air’s international growth strategy, which continues to stand out for its high standards of safety, comfort, and onboard hospitality. Recognized globally by passengers and industry rankings, the airline further expands its intercontinental network, offering a competitive and quality solution for business, leisure, and family travellers.
