After China’s civil war (1945-1949), CAT relocated to the island of Taiwan in 1950, and evolved from a relief cargo airline to a government contractor and commercial carrier. In 1953, the airline formally became the flag carrier of the Republic of China. #CAT #DefunctThursday

China Airlines, the flag carrier of Taiwan, was founded #onthisday in 1959 by retired Chinese Air Force officers. Transpacific service to SF began in 1970 with the acquisition of the Boeing 707 jetliner. Have you ever flown on China Airlines?
