The new route signals a deeper bet on the Taiwan-India corridor, where manufacturing, semiconductor, artificial intelligence, and technology ties are expanding rapidly. EVA Air President Clay Sun called the launch “an important milestone in EVA Air’s network development” and framed it as both a business play and a connectivity bridge between India and North America through Taipei.
Schedule and Aircraft for the Taipei-Delhi Route
EVA Air will operate the Taipei-Delhi service five times weekly using Airbus A330-300 aircraft. Flight BR367 departs Taipei at 11:00 and arrives in Delhi at 15:35, running on days 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. The return leg, flight BR368, departs Delhi at 19:55 and lands in Taipei at 04:20 the following day. The carrier noted that actual flight times remain subject to official announcements on its website.
By flying nonstop, EVA Air cuts out the layovers that currently push travelers through other Asian gateways such as Hong Kong, Singapore, or Bangkok. For business travelers shuttling between Taiwan’s tech hubs and India’s capital region, the direct link trims hours off the journey and removes the friction of a connection.
Star Alliance Links and Visa-Waiver Perks
The Taipei-Delhi route plugs into a broader network through EVA Air’s Star Alliance partnership with Air India. Passengers arriving in Delhi can connect onward to major Indian cities, while Indian travelers can route through Taipei to reach EVA Air’s North American destinations. The carrier highlighted growing demand from business travelers, students, researchers, and visiting friends and relatives as the driver behind the new link.
Eligible Indian nationals heading to the United States or Canada may also benefit from Taiwan’s conditional visa-waiver transit program, which makes short stopovers in Taiwan easier and supports inbound tourism. That perk could make Taipei a more attractive transit point for Indian travelers who currently route through Middle Eastern hubs like Dubai or Doha.
Tourism Push: Golden Triangle Packages for Taiwan Travelers
EVA Air is not just chasing business traffic. Delhi serves as the gateway to India’s Golden Triangle, the classic tourist circuit linking Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. In cooperation with leading travel partners, EVA Air will offer six- to nine-day escorted tours featuring UNESCO World Heritage Sites, cultural experiences, premium accommodations, and Mandarin-speaking guides.
The tour packages are available exclusively through travel agencies in Taiwan, a distribution choice that leans on established retail travel networks rather than direct online booking. For North American travelers, EVA Air is also pitching its broader Asian network, with connections via Taipei to major cities across the region.
What Happens Next
Watch for load factors and frequency adjustments in the first quarter of service. If the Taipei-Delhi route performs well, EVA Air could add a second Indian destination, with Mumbai the most likely candidate given its commercial weight. Competitors that currently carry Taiwan-India traffic via one-stop connections may respond by adjusting schedules or pricing on overlapping segments. Travelers should also monitor whether Taiwan’s visa-waiver transit program expands, which would further strengthen Taipei’s position as a hub for Indian passengers bound for North America.
