China Airlines (CAL) has introduced new daily services linking Taipei and Kaohsiung to Tokyo, making travel between Taiwan and Japan easier. The new services include two daily flights (CI-220/CI-221 and CI-222/CI-223) between Taipei-Songshan and Tokyo-Haneda airports, as well as two additional TSA-HND flights code-shared with Japan Airlines (CI-9220/CI-9223 and CI-9222/CI-9221), saving passengers hours of travel time between the two capital cities. CAL also launched three new round-trip services between Kaohsiung and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport on Monday, Thursday and Sunday (CI-102/CI-103), making travel between Japan and southern Taiwan more convenient.

CAL now operates 36 weekly flights between points in Taiwan and Tokyo, as well as a total of 85 weekly flights to nine popular Japanese destinations including Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Okinawa, Miyazaki, Tokyo-Haneda and Tokyo-Narita. CAL serves more Japanese destinations more frequently than any other airline in Taiwan.

According to the company release, to celebrate the new services, CAL is passing on substantial benefits to passengers in Taiwan. All Economy Class passengers will enjoy the same economical ticket fare between Songshan, Taoyuan and Kaohsiung and Tokyo’s Narita or Haneda (not available on code-share flights). Business Class passengers departing from both Songshan and Taoyuan to Haneda and Narita will also enjoy the same airfares. Kaohsiung-Narita Business Class passengers will receive one free bus transportation to Tokyo. CAL has also joined with travel agencies to launch new tour packages focusing on Tokyo’s fashion scene, hot springs resorts and sightseeing of natural wonders.
