(07/16/24)
China Airlines has launched direct flights between Taipei and Seattle, USA.

The airline will initially operate the route with five flights per week using Airbus A350 aircraft, with plans to increase service to daily flights once new aircraft and capacity become available.

Flight CI22 is scheduled to depart Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 23:30, arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) at 19:50.

From Seattle, flight CI21 is scheduled to depart every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 01:40 and arrive in Taipei at 05:05 the following day.

Seattle joins Los Angeles, Ontario (California), San Francisco and New York in the US and Vancouver in Canada to become China Airlines' sixth direct destination in North America.

Connecting flights are available from Seattle to more than 50 major cities in the U.S. interior, and more than 80% are same-day transfers, providing an advantage for business travel and tourism between the U.S. and Taiwan.

The airline is also looking to expand its share of the Asian transfer market through its extensive regional network of flights to Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, in particular.

China Airlines currently operates more than 40 round-trip flights between Taiwan and the United States and Canada every week.
