The extra flights will bring total one-way services to Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu islands to 2,414 between Jan. 27 and Feb. 5, it said.
There will be 106,126 seats on 1,090 flights between Penghu and Taiwan, 113,712 seats on 1,118 flights between Kinmen and Taiwan, and 13,916 seats on 206 flights between Matsu and Taiwan, the CAA said. [FULL STORY]
