Though EVA is recognized as an expert at carrying endangered species and special cargo, it diligently applies rigorous operational standards to every flight. Flight personnel kept temperature, humidity and light perfectly adjusted to recreate conditions in the koalas’ natural habitat, ensuring that the furry creatures had a comfortable trip with as little stress as possible. The highly sensitive koalas were also loaded and unloaded first, again, minimizing stress.

In addition to its four koala missions from Australia, EVA has been selected to carry numerous other endangered species to Taiwan.  It transported fragile red-crowned cranes from Japan two months ago, giant pandas from China in 2008 and more. EVA’s excellent safety record and experience in carrying endangered species have made it a partner wildlife protection agencies consistently rely on for rescue operations, sharing treasured national symbols and implementing off-shore conservation programs in different countries to ensure that a kind of animal will not become extinct if disaster strikes its natural habitat.

Taiwan-based EVA provides both passenger and air cargo services to destinations worldwide, with gateways on four continents and one of the airline industry’s most far-reaching networks in China and throughout Asia.
