Taiwan Relations well - Air Nippon to End

  • Now international flights between Japan and Taiwan can be on the same airline as between Japan and China, in part as Japan has recognized it does not need to succumb to every wish of the Communists.

    excerpt: TAIPEI, Taiwan — The Japan Interchange Association, Japan's de facto embassy in Taiwan, and Taiwan's Foreign Ministry signed a landmark air travel deal in Taipei Thursday symbolizing a move toward normalization of Tokyo-Taipei ties 35 years after Japan switched diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China.

    The deal scraps flights to and from Taiwan by subsidiary airlines under Japanese carriers Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways to service Taiwan-Japan routes as a political sop to Beijing. The flights will now be run by parent companies JAL and ANA, instead of Japan Asia Airways and Air Nippon, which the carriers established in 1975 and 1974, respectively.


  • My search of the ANA online schedule search is still showing EL (Air Nippon) flights to Taipei as of September 1, with an associated search on star alliance's website still showing only UA's as the only nonstop. It looks as if they haven't started transitioning it over just quite yet.

    Although on a positive note, on March 30 the schedule on EL 2109 NRT-TPE moves from 11:40 - 14:45 schedule to 18:20 - 20:50. Really makes both departures from Tokyo and the connections from transpacific flights a lot easier.
    The GDS will be updated mid-March to reflect the new changes.

  • This is good news! Now *A members can earn and redeem miles on these flights!


  • The GDS will be updated mid-March to reflect the new changes.

    I see there are listed now as UA codeshare flights on 767-300's? Any idea, do they offer in seat PTV's, or same older planes like JAA?


  • Does anyone know when this is effective?

    Starting Summer 2008 timetable.


  • I seem to recall at one point that NH under ANA flight awards to redeem the BR codeshares KIX-TPE and FUK-TPE as EL flights. Is that still allowed or has that been eliminated?


    Thanks.

    On my flight last night it was an older plane with the projection screen up front. My first time on ANA, and I was hoping for the in seat TV's.

    I was able to book a TPE-NRT segment using UA miles last week.


  • The flight number change has been announced and should be updated in the GDS by MArch.

    EL21xx -> NH108x

    Codeshare on EVA Air:
    EL21xx -> NH58xx

    Good, I can get UA Star awards now. I wonder will NH codeshare on EVA air's new KIAX-LAX flight?


  • Air Nippon/ANK is not ceasing operation as ANA is simply "borrowing" ANK to operate TPE route.

    And looks like NRT-TPE on ANA will be down to 1 daily from 30MAR08!.
