Taiwan urges for an Indian carrier to fly to Taipei

New Delhi: Taiwan has identified that it is losing out on Indian outbound travellers due to lack of connectivity. So far, apart from Taiwan's national carrier China Airlines, none of the Indian carriers have connectivity to Taiwan. Following this, the Taipei Economic & Cultural Centre (TECC) in New Delhi has approached the Ministry of Civil Aviation proposing Indian carriers to fly to Taipei. Wenchyi Ong, representative for TECC revealed, “We have met with the Ministry of Civil Aviation to make them understand the scope that lies in this sector and the opportunity for Indian aviation. More than anything, it is trade that is getting affected because there is no direct connectivity from the IT hub of India. So far the response has been positive.” India eyes Taiwan for various Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry products, which are competitive in prices than brands of other make found elsewhere. Hence, Taiwan attracts a lot of traders and based on the same, the country also wants to project this aspect in its shopping attraction agenda for Indian travellers.
