 Taipei-based China Airlines, which will take delivery of its first Airbus A350 XWB in July, will launch nonstop flights from Taipei to European destinations from December 2016.

The destinations include Amsterdam (4X-weekly), Rome Fiumicino (2X-weekly) and Vienna (3X-weekly). It will also increase Taipei-Frankfurt service to 7X-weekly from June 2016.

In addition, the A350 is expected to strengthen its cooperation with other airlines to reach more key European destinations such as Madrid.
China Airlines has 14 A350-900s on order.
Chairman and CEO Hang Hung Sun told ATW in July the carrier would take delivery of "four A350s
in 2016, six in 2017 and four more in 2018."
The SkyTeam member said it will provide "the most comprehensive flight network between Taiwan and Europe and an all-new, next-generation flight experience on board the A350."
China Airlines said the A350 offers "a contemporary, next-generation cabin design, which will complement different ambient mood-lighting scenarios. Boarding/takeoff music will create a feeling of exclusive elegance." China Airlines is also introducing an unconventional feature by creating a unique cabin fragrance for greater brand identity. An onboard Sky Bistro will be in a European tavern style.
