In order to welcome the summer peak season, China Airlines will provide three passenger services to Japan. These include resuming Taipei-Osaka, inaugurating Taipei-Sapporo on July 1, and Kaohsiung-Nagoya on July 2. The Taipei-Osaka route, with five flights per week, will use an A330-300 passenger jet.
The Taipei-Sapporo route, with six weekly flights, and the Kaohsiung-Nagoya route, with two weekly flights, will both use B737-800 aircraft. In the future, passengers traveling to west, north and central Japan will enjoy greater flexibility and convenience. After launching these three new services, China Airlines will provide 70 scheduled flights each week, and offer the most scheduled destinations between Taiwan and Japan than any other airline.
Situated in the west of Japan, Osaka is the second largest city in the country, with a population of nine million. Steel, ship building, chemical and machinery industries flourish in Osaka, making its industrial output second only to Tokyo in all of Japan.

Sapporo is the capital of Hokkaido, the northern-most large island in Japan, and is a large regional administration, cultural and transportation center. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan, with 1.5 million people. Hokkaido has enjoyed a high growth rate among Taiwanese tourists in recent years, and in 2005, more than 300,000 Taiwanese tourists visited Hokkaido.
