Taiwan Fuxing Airlines started a new direct service between Wuhan and Taiwan on 22 August. Before then, only China Eastern Airlines offered a regular service, with six flights a week. By the end of September another carrier, Taiwan Lirong Airline, will also operate services, with eight flights a week between the two destinations.
These passenger flights are also allowed to carry cargo, according to an official agreement signed by the governments of both sides of the Taiwan Straits.
