TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) said Saturday that the flight rights of TransAsia Airways, which disbanded last November due to financial woes, have been re-assigned to other Taiwanese airlines. Under the re-assignment, the money-losing Taichung-Hualien and Taipei-Hualien routes were re-assigned to Mandarin Airlines and UNI Air, respectively, according to the CAA. In addition, UNI Air got the Kinmen-Penghu route, which was operated by TransAsia on a charter basis. Other routes between Taipei, Kaohsiung and outlying Kinmen and Penghu will be operated jointly by Mandarin Airlines, UNI Air and Far Eastern Air Transport, it said. Far Eastern Air Transport will fly Taipei (Songshan)-Fuzhou, while budget carrier Tiger Taiwan will operate on the Taoyuan-Wuxi route.
