Taiwan Carrier Expands Fleet with Long-Haul Aircraft
China Airlines has placed a firm order for five more Airbus A350-1000 widebody aircraft, following board approval in November 2025. The airline already operates 15 Airbus A350-900s and plans to retire four 747-400 freighters as part of its fleet plan. According to AeroTime, the total value of the package will not exceed $7.852 billion. This expansion may strengthen China Airlines’ position in the competitive long-haul market.
