CAL cargo plane signage prompts protest, criticismBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterPro-Taiwan independence activists yesterday protested outside China Airlines’ (CAL) headquarters in Taipei over the airline’s new cargo airplane exterior signage, while Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers also criticized CAL’s new designs and called on the Ministry of Transportation and Communications to force the airline to make more changes. “The new design still has ‘China Airlines,’ only slightly smaller and moved nearer the tail. CAL clearly does not want to have Taiwan as part of its logo,” Chen said. “Throughout the world, people might not know what Taiwan’s map looks like, and so this design cannot distinguish the aircraft as coming from Taiwan,” Wang said. It should be recognizable as coming from Taiwan, to distinguish itself from Chinese airlines,” Wang added.
