Taiwan ignores call for air cargo reciprocity
China’s state-owned Xinhua News Agency reports the Chinese government negatively views a Taiwanese announcement this month that the island nation intends to operate indirect charter cargo flights to the mainland via Hong Kong and Macau, without offering access to mainland carriers such as China Southern Airlines, according to Commercial Aviation Today.
The China Civil Aviation Association said Monday that China is ready for talks on direct air links with Taiwan and wants mainland carriers to be allowed to operate such flights too. An officials said two-way direct cargo flights across the Taiwan Strait would save time and expense for shippers.
