China Airlines Taiwan-Rome flights to transit via New Delhi


Taipei-based China Airlines announced Monday that from Dec. 1, its flights to Rome will transit via the Indian city of Delhi rather than the Thai city of Bangkok. CAL, which operates three flights per week to Rome, will become the only airline in the world to fly the route via Delhi, a move that is expected to cut the flight time by an hour, the company said. The twice-weekly Taipei-Bangkok-Rome flights will be replaced by three Taipei-Delhi-Rome flights per week, according to CAL. Flights will depart from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport at 8:25 am every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, reaching Delhi at 01:10 pm for a 75 minute transit stop before arriving in Rome at 6:40 pm the same day. The return flights will leave at 10:40 pm from Rome and reach Delhi at 10:55 am the next day for a 75 minute transit stop before arriving in Taiwan at 8:20 pm that day.
