EVA Air will take delivery of its fifth new A330-200 in Toulouse on April 22, 2004. Mr. Steve Lin, President and Mr. K W Chang, Chief Executive Vice President of EVA Air will attend the delivery ceremony in person. The new aircraft is expected to arrive in Taipei at 5.20 pm, April 23, 2004.

KW Nieh, Senior Vice President, EVA Air commented: "The A330-200 is one of the most flexible commercial aircraft on the market, perfect for short, medium and long haul flights. It is able to fly direct to all of our Asian destination from Taipei but also further afield; non-stop to Brisbane and Sydney."
