China Airlines to add fifth weekly flight from Gatwick
China Airlines is increasing its non-stop service from London Gatwick to Taipei from four to five flights per week.
It will add the fifth Tuesday flight from March 25.
The increase follows the announcement that China Airlines is returning to the UK after a five year gap with the launch of a non-stop service between Gatwick and Taipei’s Taoyuan International next week (December 1).
The new service will operate four times per week from South Terminal until March 25 2018, when the additional Tuesday flight will be added.
It will be operated by a 350-900 Airbus which carries up to 306 passengers with a three class configuration, offering Premium Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins.~
"Having only just announced our return to the UK, we are already demonstrating our ambition and commitment to the service by expanding from four to five weekly flights," says Roger Han, senior vice president Europe at China Airlines.
