Mandarin Launches Kinmen Service

Mandarin Airlines has begun service on two routes connecting Taiwan and the offshore island of Kinmen. Under the new schedule, Mandarin operates three return trips daily between Taipei and Kinmen and another three between Taichung and Kinmen.

Mandarin becomes the fourth carrier providing service between Taiwan proper and Kinmen. Kinmen routes are especially coveted as they are among the few domestic routes to have seen an increase in passenger traffic in recent years.
