Air China opens Taipei office
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-03-16 23:03 Mainland flag carrier Air China opened an office in Taipei on Monday.
With six cross-Straits routes, airlines had carried 57,900 passengers on 440 charter flights as of February, according to Kong. The mainland and Taiwan started direct flights on December 15, 2008, ending a 59-year ban on such links. Kao Koong-lian, vice chairman and secretary-general of Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation, said direct flights have benefited people on both sides. He said he hoped to regularize cross-Straits direct flights during the next round of talks with the mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits.
