Taiwanese carrier TransAsia takes off at Changi Airport

TransAsia will operate the A320 aircraft in a two-class configuration on the Taipei-Singapore route.

According to a release, including TransAsia Airways, six carriers will operate a total of 60 weekly services linking Singapore to Taipei. The others are Taiwan’s China Airlines and Eva Air, and Singapore-based Jetstar Asia, Singapore Airlines and Tiger Airways.

The flight schedule features an early morning departure out of Changi and an end of day return from Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport, which will give business and leisure travellers the opportunity to maximise their time in the Taiwanese capital. TransAsia will use Changi Airport’s Terminal 2. The flight details are as follows:

Passenger traffic between Singapore and Taipei rose 21.2% to 835,000 passenger movements in 2010, compared with the year before. In the first five months of 2011, the route grew by 16.5% to more than 385,000 passenger movements.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
