 PROFILE
China Airlines invites you to fly the precarious skies. The passenger and freight service, founded by retired military pilots in 1959, got its start shuttling supplies to insurgents on the Thai-Burmese border, followed by parachute drops over Laos and spy flights over war-torn Vietnam. Its fleet of more than 50 aircraft, including B747s, B737s, and MD-11s, flies to 51 cities in 22 countries in Asia, Europe, and North America. China Airlines also provides repair and maintenance services for other airlines. More than 500 of its passengers have died in crashes since 1989, including a 1998 crash near Taipei, Taiwan, that killed more than 200 people. China Airlines is majority government owned.
