The service will operate four times a week from Gatwick’s South Terminal, with a flight time of just over 13 hours aboard China Airlines’ Airbus A350-900.
The aircraft will carry 306 passengers.
The UK has been trying to boost business links with Taiwan, with trade minister Greg Hands visiting the island last September - shortly after the Brexit vote.
