China Airlines, one of Taiwan’s largest carriers, will resume its Taipei-Guam service from 27 November to 02 February 2025, with two weekly flights.
According to CAL, it will use an Airbus A321neo aircraft to operate the service between the two destinations.
Chia Ping Liu, director general of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Guam, confirmed China’s Airlines’ resumption of the route during the Taiwan National Day reception on 15 October.
“Taiwan has long been the major source of tourists for Guam. Before Covid, according to one visitor’s viewer data, Taiwan tourists were also the top vendors in Guam’s physical markets, which prepared an on-island expenditure reaching more than US$2,000,” Chia said.
“Over the years, tourism, trade and investment have been growing.
Many Taiwanese businesses have invested in Guam, and in recent years, our partnership has further advanced in the field, such as education, culture, medical care, and so on,” Chia said. “I’m sure we can do more to deepen our ties and find new relationship opportunities.
Air service between Taipei and Guam ceased during the pandemic.
Chia said that when he first came to Guam, local leaders had discussed with him the importance of restoring direct flights between Taiwan and Guam to recover Guam’s tourism. “Since then, our office in Guam has kept recommending the headquarter to assist in the resumption of direct flight between Taiwan and Guam and hopefully further extend to Saipan,” he added.
