China Airlines has cancelled 67 flights due to the strike held by its flight attendants.
The cancelled flights set to depart from Taoyuan International Airport and Taipei Songshan Airport are estimated to affect than 20,000 passengers.
This is the first time that flight attendants have held a strike in Taiwan’s history.
The Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union said on Friday that they will only end the strike after they reach a consensus with their employer about working conditions.
On Friday, Premier Lin Chuan said it is not appropriate to let the private sector manage Taiwan’s flag carrier at present. Lin said while China Airlines is a private company, the government is its biggest shareholder and is responsible for keeping its management stable.
