Are masks required on EVA Air?
Yes, masks are currently required on EVA Air flights. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, EVA Air has implemented a mandatory mask policy for all passengers and crew members. This policy is in line with guidelines from health authorities and is designed to help ensure the safety and well-being of everyone on board.
