Flying to Asia may get a bit easier, with two airlines adding direct service to DFW International Airport.
EVA Air, a Taiwanese carrier, is adding a route from Taipei in Taiwan to DFW, with five flights a week, while Air India is reported to have added routes from New Delhi (DEL) to DFW, per its winter schedule.
DFW already has flights to Tokyo, South Korea and Shanghai through Fort Worth-based American Airlines, as well as Japan Airlines and Korean Air.
EVA Air is a member of the Star Alliance, which includes United and others. Dallas will be its seventh U.S. passenger destination, but a statement from an EVA Air spokesperson indicates DFW also will be used for cargo.
“With frequent business activities and convenient connections to Central and South America, the new route is expected to fulfill high passenger and cargo demands,” the statement said.
Service will begin Nov. 3, 2025.
Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, an Indian governmental agency akin to the Federal Aviation Administration, released its approved winter schedule, which features new Air India routes to and from New Delhi and DFW up to seven times a week beginning in January.
Air India has not responded to a request for comment.
EVA Air has not announced which of its jets will fly the new route, but Air India’s schedule says its new routes to DFW will be flown by Boeing 777s.
