China Airlines

Taiwan's flag carrier

China Airlines is the flag carrier airline of Taiwan, founded in 1959 and headquartered in Taipei.

Despite its name suggesting the People's Republic of China, it represents Taiwan (officially the Republic of China): My flight from Los Angeles to Taipei was on China Airlines.

Not to be confused with Air China, the mainland Chinese carrier.
