Taipei-based EVA Airways announced its intent to purchase five Boeing 777 freighters at the Paris Air Show. The commitment, valued at more than $1.5 billion at list prices, represents the first 777 freighters to join EVA’s fleet.

The Taiwanese airline plans to use the new freighters to bolster its fleet in an effort to meet growing demand in the air cargo market.

EVA Airways currently operates more than 35 Boeing aircraft in its fleet, including 20 777-300ERs.
 
EVA is one of the world's leading 777-300ER operators with unfilled orders for 14 777-300ERs – both direct purchased and leased. The carrier plans to grow its operational twin-aisle fleet to more than 60 airplanes by the end of 2025.
