Taiwan's Far East Air Lines to be suspended Operations affected in Japan due to management difficulties December 13th 4:03

Taiwanese airline company "Far East Airlines" will be suspended from 13th as it becomes difficult to continue its management. Far East Airlines operates regular flights with Niigata, and regular charter flights between Akita and Fukushima, which also affects Japanese flights.

This is something Taiwanese aviation authorities revealed during a press conference in Taipei on the 12th.

Although Far East Airlines has been operating for many years and the top of the company has been investing and operating personal assets, the repayment to the bank has been delayed on the 11th, making it difficult for the company to continue operating to the aviation authorities, It means that there was an explanation when the operation was temporarily stopped.

According to Far East Airlines, we were unable to contact the top man of the company and had a memorandum-like memo, so we were rushing to confirm the location.

Far East Airlines was established in 1957 and is the first private airline in Taiwan. It also operates overseas routes connecting China, Japan and other countries in addition to Taiwan.

However, as competition in the Taiwanese airline industry intensifies, such as an increase in the number of low-cost airlines, the number of tourists from China has decreased in recent years.

There are regular flights between Japan and Niigata, and regular charter flights between Akita and Fukushima, and airlines will proceed with refund procedures in the future.

Sudden outages are causing a shock in Taiwan, and it seems that there are still tourists on remote islands in Taiwan.

Promoting Taiwan tourist attraction

Last year in Fukushima Prefecture, the vice governor at that time visited Taiwan and strengthened the connection with Far East Airlines.

In April, two round-trip charter flights between Taiwan and Fukushima Airport began in April, with the aim of connecting to regular flights thereafter.

Due to the increase in flights, Taiwanese accounted for 32% of foreign tourists who visited Fukushima Prefecture.

Fukushima Airport Exchange Division said, “It ’s a shame because Far East Airlines charter flights have been a driving force for Taiwanese tourists to come to Fukushima Prefecture. I want to go. "
