Eva Air Cargo

EVA Air Cargo, founded concurrently with the passenger operations of EVA Air, has grown to include facilities in Europe, Asia, and North America, and freighter routes around the world. Its cargo operations have diversified to include transportation of high-tech equipment and special care items such as museum artwork and live zoological specimens. EVA Air has stated its goal of achieving a 50/50 split in revenues between its passenger and cargo operations.

Following the establishment of its A330 fleet and the introduction of B777 long-haul aircraft, the airline converted some of its B747-400 aircraft to freighters to meet cargo market demands. The new B747-400 freighters have a payload of 114 tons with 30 main deck pallets; additional cargo shipment security is provided through a Smoke Detection System. EVA established its “European Cargo Center” in Brussels in 2003 and opened its “Southern China Cargo Center” in Hong Kong in 2006.

EVA has 43 weekly cargo flights to London, Vienna, Brussels and US destinations including Los Angeles, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Chicago, Atlanta and New York. The carrier also code-shares with international airlines including Air Nippon (a subsidiary of All Nippon Airways), British Airways World Cargo, Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa Cargo.

In recent years, the airline has focused its North American cargo operations solely on point-to-point routes. By 2008, EVA Air Cargo ranked among the world's top 10 largest air freight companies.

Industry publication Air Cargo World ranked EVA Air Cargo 6th out of 50 in its 2008 Air Cargo Excellence Survey, a measure of cargo service customer service and performance.
