"Eva Airways announced On today, it would start daily direct flights to China next month amid Taiwan's warming ties with the mainland.
The move, part of an expanded flight agreement across the Taiwan Straits, would allow Eva Air to fly to the Chinese cities of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen, James Jeng, the company's president, told reporters at a briefing.
"We will maximize the benefits of these flights, and will be broadening our co-operation with Chinese airlines," he said.
The increased number of flights come after officials from China and Taiwan signed deals earlier this month on daily direct flights, new cargo routes and food safety during Beijing's highest-level visit to its political rival in 60 years."
