Expanding in the U.S. with New Destinations and More Flights

China Airlines will boost its North American network with more flights to New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle. It’s also considering new U.S. destinations including Boston, Phoenix, and Washington Dulles.

This expansion follows the delivery of new aircraft, including A350s, 787s, and 777-9s. The airline offers over 40 round-trip flights weekly to the U.S. and Canada. It connects travelers to nearly 500 regional flights across Southeast and Northeast Asia.

Moving to JFK’s New Terminal 1 in June 2026
