Briefing
China Airlines began three-times-weekly nonstop TPE–PHX operations using an A350‑900; Phoenix becomes CAL's seventh North American gateway — a material network expansion following the carrier's earlier announcement to start the route from Dec. 3, 2025.
The new link reinforces Phoenix's growing U.S. connectivity and is part of a broader trend of Asian carriers adding direct transpacific services (see recent nonstop launches such as EVA Air’s DFW–TPE service and increased Phoenix route activity including Porter’s expanded PHX plans).
