China Airlines (CAL) has launched two new routes to Japan.
The Taiwanese carrier yesterday commenced three weekly flights to both Kagoshima on Kyushu Island, and Shizuoka, which lies in the middle of Honshu Island between Tokyo and Nagoya.
Both destinations will be served direct from Taipei’s Taoyuan airport, with flights operating three times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays) using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with eight seats in business class and 150 in economy.
The launches follow the recent signing of an open skies agreement between Taiwan and Japan, and will be followed by the launch of Taipei-Toyama flights on 16 April. The three new routes, plus a range of new flights on existing routes, will expand CAL’s Japanese operations to 119 weekly flights.
