China Airlines boosts Sydney flights

Wednesday, 02 Apr, 2009 0

TAIPEI – China Airlines has added three more A330-300 Airbus flights a week to its Sydney operations.

The additional flights which operate on Monday, Thursday and Saturday evenings complement afternoon services already operated on the same days by China Airlines.

Passenger demand for additional frequency between Sydney and Taipei necessitated the increase in flights which are timed to provide better connectivity to other points on the network.

Departing at 2155, the new night flights are expected be particularly attractive to Australian passengers travelling on to Japan and Korea and South East Asia region, said Jim Wong, sales manager, China Airlines, Australia.

In order to stimulate traffic to these destinations, China Airlines has released special promotional fares for agents to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukoka, Sapporo, Hiroshima, Okinawa as well as Seoul. The net fare is started from $720 (plus taxes).

In addition China Airlines has also released a special promotional fare to Hong Kong. The net fare starts from $526 (plus taxes).

Meanwhile, the Taiwan flag carrier has commenced a four times a week service between Taipei and the Micronesian nation of Pulau.
