China Airlines

China Airlines is the flag carrier of the Republic of Taiwan. The airline is not a state-owned corporation nominally, but belongs to Taiwan Aviation Development Foundation. However, the foundation belongs to the government of the Republic of Taiwan. The chairman does not have to report to the Legislative Yuan, unlike other state-owned companies in Taiwan. The airline, based at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and with headquarters in Taipei, currently flies to many destinations in Asia, Europe, North America and the South Pacific. Because of political obstacles over the establishment of the Three Links, it does not have regularly scheduled flights into mainland China; passengers to mainland China must go through Hong Kong, transferring to another airline. Its main competitor is EVA Air.
