China Airlines Now Flying from Taipei to Ontario

Published: Mar 25, 2018

A new route to the United States has been added by China Airlines. The TPE-ONT (Taoyuan to Ontario in California) route that the market has long been waiting for was officially commissioned today (3/25). China Airlines will operate Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on the route with seven flights a week. The new regular service will be the first direct flight from Asia to Ontario CA. It has already achieved average bookings of 70% at launch despite March through to April being the off-peak season. The launch means China Airlines now offers six direct flight destinations in the U.S. with 32 flights a week to choose from.
 
To celebrate the launch of the all-new route, China Airlines Chairman Nuan-hsuan Ho hosted a ceremony at Taoyuan Airport today (3/25). The milestone moment was witnessed by Mayor of Taoyuan City Wen-tsan Cheng, VISIT CALIFORNIA – Taiwan Travel Trade Director Milane Tsai, Taoyuan International Airport Corporation President Deng-Ke Shiau, Taoyuan Metro Chairman Kun-Yi Liu and other guests, all of whom gathered to bestow their blessing on the inaugural flight.
 
China Airlines Chairman Nuan-Hsuan Ho said that the extensive studies and assessments carried out by China Airlines have now finally paid off. The launch of the Taoyuan - Ontario route will tap into the market for travel between Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau among eastern Los Angeles’ Chinese community. China Airlines has now set its sights on the market for travel between Greater Los Angeles and Southeast Asia. The new route, along with the existing Taoyuan - Los Angeles service, will expand options for travel to and from Asia for metropolitan Los Angeles as a whole, fostering closer Taiwan-U.S. ties as well as strengthening links with the Asia market. Ontario Airport's superb location means it's close to local Chinese communities and can attract travelers from the east side of Greater Los Angeles. Ontario Airport is also the e-commerce hub for the US west coast so it will hopefully create new cargo sources for China Airlines, resulting in a win in passenger and freight. 
 
The latest move by China Airlines is expected to optimize route revenues. The LAX and ONT airports will become twin hubs for China Airlines operations in the Greater Los Angeles region resulting in economic synergies from dual airports, while also expanding the reach and convenience of services in the region.
