China Airlines Joins SkyTeam Alliance




China Airlines, based out of Taiwan, joined the SkyTeam alliance in September with an impressive ceremony in Taipei, becoming the 15th carrier (and first Taiwanese airline) to join the global alliance. An announcement was made that either Air France or China Airlines will be flying a route between Taipei (TPE) and Paris (CDG) as soon as possible.

Taipei, China Airlines' hub, is home to one of the strongest economies in Asia. With China Airlines' addition, SkyTeam becomes the largest alliance serving the greater China market with hubs in Beijing (PEK), Shanghai (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN), and Taipei. China Airlines also brings three new destinations to the SkyTeam network: Miyazaki (KMI) and Okinawa (NAH) in Japan and Surabaya (SUB) in Indonesia.
