Mainland airspace opened for Taiwan planes
7 September 2005
Taiwan's China Airlines and EVA Airways have received permission from the mainland's aviation authority to fly over Chinese airspace en route to destinations in Europe, southeastern and western Asia, reported Reuters. The carriers plan to each make more than 50 passenger and cargo flights a week over mainland China to such destinations as Hanoi, Paris and Vienna. Taiwan banned its carriers from using mainland airspace in 1949.
