Airlines across the Taiwan Straits ink agreement

SHANGHAI - China Eastern Airlines Co Ltd signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China Airlines, Taiwan province's premier airline on Tuesday to extensively cooperate on cargo flights, passenger flights, logistics, aircraft maintenance and marketing.

According to China Eastern Chairman Liu Shaoyong, the two carriers will extend their cooperation to some key areas such as code sharing.

"That means, when passengers take flight from China Eastern, they will also be receiving service from China Airlines," Liu added.
