London, Dec. 1 (CNA) China Airlines (CAL), one of Taiwan’s international carriers, said Friday that it will provide code-sharing services with Air France in 2018 as the first step for the airline to serve the Taipei-Paris route.

CAL Chairman Ho Nuan-hsuan (何煖軒) made the comment as the carrier celebrated the resumption of direct flights between Taipei and London after its flight arrived in the U.K. capital.

Currently, EVA Airways, a rival of CAL, is the only carrier to serve the Taipei-Paris route, with one round-trip flight per day, which it has offered since 1993.
