An officer of the Aviation Bureau Police puts a handbag on a tray at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport yesterday. EVA Air, China Airlines and Starlux Airlines separately announced plans to hike air fares that would be announced this month. The Ministry of Labor is relaxing the subsidized employment of migrant domestic workers for households, allowing families to hire one migrant worker for every child younger than12.
