China Airlines is responding to the increasing demand for tourism and business travel to Japan by launching the Taipei-Kumamoto route on September 18. With two round-trip flights per week, the new route will complement the existing 14 flights a week on the Taipei-Fukuoka route to give travelers more options for getting to and from Kyushu. To celebrate the new Taipei-Kumamoto route, China Airlines is offering a special promotion on the first three flights with Economy Class round-trip fares starting from TWD 6,840 (before tax). The fare can be as low as TWD 4,780 (before tax) for Dynasty members if they book through the China Airlines website and use their frequent flyer miles.
The China Airlines Taipei-Kumamoto route will be flown by the A321neo, the new mainstay on regional routes, every Monday and Friday. The outbound flight CI194 will take off at 14:30 from Taoyuan Airport and arrive at 17:35 local time at Kumamoto Airport; the inbound flight CI195 will take off at 18:35 local time and return to Taoyuan Airport at 19:50 Taiwan time. The China Airlines A321neo offers industry-leading features including Premium Business Class with fully-flat seats, the latest 4K high-definition entertainment system with the largest displays, high-speed in-flight Wi-Fi, and free text messaging all in a spacious and comfortable cabin.
Due to the rapid recovery in post-pandemic travel, China Airlines made multiple chartered flights between Taipei and Kumamoto since March in response to market demand. Kumamoto is not only rich in tourism resources but is also an important hub of the Japanese semiconductor industry. China Airlines therefore decided to launch scheduled services on the Taipei-Kumamoto route to take advantage of the tourism, trade and cultural exchange potential between the two markets.
