China Airlines is set to introduce flights between Taipei and Phoenix, following the announcement by fellow Taiwanese airline STARLUX of a similar service. The new route by China Airlines will commence in December, a month before STARLUX's launch in January 2026. The airline plans to operate this route three times a week with an Airbus A350-900 aircraft, making stops at Los Angeles on the return journey.
The decision to fly to Phoenix comes as the city emerges as a "tech hub" with increasing business travel demand. Flights will be available every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday starting December 3. In an effort to attract passengers, China Airlines is offering up to 14% discounts on economy return fares.
China Airlines stated, "As part of its efforts to connect Taiwan with key industrial nodes across the world, China Airlines will become the first Asian carrier to fly to Phoenix, Arizona."
