Ex-CAA chief "willing to” take over TransAsiaThe former director general of the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA,民航局), Chang Kuo-cheng (張國政), on Tuesday said that he was "willing to take over" recently dissolved TransAsia Airways (復興航空), urging the government to delay a revocation of the airline's flying rights set for today. Should TransAsia Airways' flying rights be revoked now, Chang said, his team would not be interested in taking over the company. TransAsia Airways spokesman Liu Chung-chi (劉忠繼) responded by saying that the airline was not aware of Chang's intentions. Chang said that his team would seek to speak with TransAsia Airways' Chairman Vincent Lin (林明昇) shortly after the morning press conference. 'Premature act'Deputy Transportation Minister Wang Kwo-tsai (王國材) said that Chang's announcement of the possible takeover before discussing it with TransAsia Airways was "premature and careless."
