EVA Air has obtained the operating rights for the Taipei Business Aviation Center, which was established next to Songshan Airport and began operations in April 2012. Originally, the EVA Air Business Aviation Center only provided services such as private jet flight applications, ground handling agency, and VIP customs clearance. At the end of December 2013, the service was extended to international flight passengers traveling on commercial airlines, and starting in March, it has been expanded to include domestic flight passengers.

EVA Air stated that the Business Aviation Center offers dedicated assistance with check-in and seat assignment, and passengers can go through customs, immigration, and quarantine procedures quickly at independently set-up counters, completing their departure procedures swiftly. A luxury limousine is then arranged to take passengers directly to the tarmac. For arriving passengers, a dedicated vehicle will transport them to the clearance area after disembarking, allowing them to leave the airport in as little as 6 minutes as well.
