The first batch of extra flights, subject to government approval, will be announced due Dec. 25, 2015.
In addition, no cross-Strait flights will be operated at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) and Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) this year. The original cross-Strait flights to and from STA will be transferred to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE).
