China Airlines has been designated to replace Far Eastern Air Transport as the national carrier for Taiwan to Palau.
This was announced today by Palau's President Tommy Remengesau Jr. and Taiwan Ambassador to Palau Matthew Lee.
China Airlines will fly three charter flights a week using Boeing 737-800, beginning June 1.
Far Eastern discontinued service earlier this month when it ran into financial difficulties.
The China Air charters have been scheduled up to August 27, after which scheduled flight service would begin.
Taiwan sends 30,000 visitors to Palau each year, nearly 40 percent of total visitors to the republic.
