Taiwan's EVA Airways shows no sign of slowing down after rapid expansion

Article Abstract:

EVA Airways Corp. will break even for the first time in 1995, an improvement compared with a $35.4-million loss in 1994. EVA Airways began in 1988 with financial backing from Evergreen Marine Corp. It is now a 5,000-employee company with a 25-plane fleet serving 25 destinations worldwide. Some observers are skeptical about the airline's future because of the difficulty of recovering its a huge investment. EVA official Wu Jiang-Ming explains that EVA will survive by focusing on air cargo, which grew by 15% in 1994.
