China Airlines currently flies to five major cities in the USA and Canada, including Los Angeles, Ontario, San Francisco, New York, and Vancouver. The scheduled non-stop service to Ontario, California in particular was the first of its kind from Asia and remains exclusive to China Airlines. The dual airport-one city configuration expands the passenger market for China Airlines and provides up to three flights a day to the Greater Los Angeles region. The introduction of the Seattle route will expand China Airlines’ North American network to six non-stop destinations. More than 40 return flights to North America each week means even greater convenience for both business travellers and tourists.
Seattle is known both for its economic diversity and for being home to tech start-ups. As one of the largest cities in Washington State and an essential portal for trade in the Pacific Northwest, the city’s business travel market boasts strong development potential. Thanks to an exceptionally pleasant temperate maritime climate, Seattle is known as the “Emerald City” and is popular with tourists. The Mount Rainier National Park, its landmark Space Needle, and the vibrant local arts and culture scene all contribute to the unique draw of Seattle.
