China Airlines is the national and largest airline of Taiwan, many passengers confuse this airline with Air China, the national airline of the People's Republic of China. It is headquartered at Taoyuan Airport in the capital city of Taipei. The company's fleet consists mainly of long-haul aircraft supplemented by a few Boeing 737s for shorter routes.

The planes with the pretty orchid blossom on the directional sign are also familiar from Prague, unfortunately only on pure cargo routes.
