China Airlines to Fly Airbus A350 on Sydney-Taipei Route


China Airlines will add its latest Airbus A350 to Sydney from December 1 2017 while also going double daily with Flights on the Sydney-Taipei route.


Overnight updates to the Airlnes booking system show both the regular Flight CI51/CI52 (which currently runs on an Airbus A330) and the new CI55/CI56 service will both see the advanced Airbus A350, which sports an upmarket business class based on the same design as that of Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways, among others.


The 32 seats each offer direct aisle access and a side-table for spreading our your inFlight stuff   and convert into a 78 inch (1.9 metre) fully-flat bed, with an 18 inch video screen to keep you entertained during the Flight.


Behind the business class cabin is the Sky Bistro bar with self-serve drinks and snacks.  Further back are 31 premium economy seats arranged in rows of 2-3-2...


... which at 20 inches wide and with a 39 inch pitch add two inches in width and seven inches of pitch compared to the A350's 243 standard 3-3-3 economy seats.

All passengers will be able to tap into an inFlight satellite Internet service.

The new China Airlines Flight CI56 leaves Sydney at 1.30pm to reach Taipei at 7.50pm; the CI55 return leg is wheels-up from Taipei at 8.10am and arrives into Sydney at 8.25pm.

The SkyTeam member will also increase its Taipei-Brisbane-Auckland Flights to a daily service, up from the current four Flights a week, from December 1.

Sydney-Auckland Flights cancelled

However, there's bad news for travellers who relied on China Airlines for a trans-Tasman hop across the pond: Schedule updates indicate that China Airlines is pulling the plug on its Sydney-Auckland Flights as of December 1.

These Auckland Flights ran an an add-on leg from the Taipei-Sydney service and could be booked on their own as a single leg between Australia and New Zealand.

China Airlines also plans to cancel its similar Sydney–Christchurch Flights as of October 29, 2017.

Australian Business Traveller has approached China Airlines for comment.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia .  Australian Northern Territory Australian health officials have warned of a "serious" incidence of children inhaling Aviation fuel in the Northern Territory.  Security camera footage shows children breaking into the remote Elcho Island Airport and siphoning fuel from planes. Petrol sniffing is not a new challenge to hit remote communities, but Aviation fuel is even more dangerous because it contains lead, local officials  aid. Lead exposure can badly damage the brain and nervous system.   Health officials believe more than 100 youths - one as young as seven - have inhaled the fuel on Elcho Island and a nearby area since March last year. "Our kids are ending up in hospital by getting infected by chemicals, which is bad for them," one Aboriginal elder, John Gurrumgurrum Burarrwanga, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. #Aviation_English_News_ Readers_Positions  #E...
