China Airlines will be expanding its capacity to Australia effectively next year. Currently, China Airlines operate three flights per week from Taipei to Brisbane. Going ahead, the airline will increase to five flights per week. Flights between Auckland and Brisbane will also be boosted from three per week to five from the start of the new year.
The expansion coincides with the airline’s 20th anniversary next year of flying to Brisbane.
Jonathan Shih, General Manager, China Airlines, Brisbane said: “Queensland is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Taiwan and has the largest Taiwanese community in Australia. With the Taiwan government opening its border, China Airlines is ramping up to five flights weekly from January 2023. This will provide Queenslanders with an easy connection to nearly 150 cities around the world, including Asia, Europe, and North America.”
The expansion has been secured under the $200 million joint State Government and industry Attracting Aviation Investment Fund, which was created to boost Queensland’s tourism sector.
