The tragic death of a 34-year-old Eva Air flight attendant, surnamed Sun, has ignited widespread outrage in Taiwan, particularly after the airline’s insensitive request for documentation following her passing. Ms. Sun reportedly fell ill during a flight from Milan to Taoyuan City on September 24 and was hospitalized upon arrival. She succumbed to her condition on October 8, with speculation mounting that overwork may have contributed to her death. Anonymous social media users, claiming to be her colleagues, have alleged that Ms. Sun was pressured to continue working despite her illness. Taiwanese authorities and Eva Air are investigating whether she was denied medical assistance or discouraged from taking sick leave. Flight records indicate that Ms. Sun averaged 75 hours of flying per month, within regulatory limits. In a shocking turn of events, Ms. Sun’s family received a text message from an Eva Air representative days after her death, requesting proof of her leave application during her hospitalization. The family responded with a copy of her death certificate. Eva Air President Sun Chia-Ming publicly apologized at a press conference, calling the message ‘a mistake by an internal employee’ and expressing deep sorrow over Ms. Sun’s passing. The airline has faced multiple fines since 2013, primarily for overtime-related violations. The incident has raised serious concerns about employee welfare in the aviation industry.
