The airline will look for partners to help improve operations and management, Chairman Chang Chia-juch said yesterday in an interview at the airline’s headquarters in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan. He declined to say which companies it would seek tie-ups with. The government-backed carrier, whose plan to sell a stake to Singapore Airlines Ltd. 11 years ago collapsed amid investor opposition, may also offer more shares on the stock market as it increases its group fleet to 100 aircraft from 80, Chang said. The airline is expanding as improved relations spur trips across the Taiwan Strait and as eased visa rules enable more Taiwanese to travel in Asia and to Europe. “There’ll be new demand, new opportunities and new clients,” Chang, 60, said. “We’re optimistic about growth and expansion of the market.” There is demand for more direct cross-strait flights, which are limited by government accords, as 46 percent of travelers between Taiwan and the mainland transit through Hong Kong, Chang said. Chinese tourist visits to Taiwan more than doubled last year to 1.23 million, according to the island’ s Tourism Bureau. Taiwan is also planning to let Chinese tourists visit individually rather than only allowing travel on group visas. Cost Cutting “They should be looking at Asia carriers, as growth in passenger and cargo markets in this region is relatively fast,” said Peter Tzeng, a Taipei-based analyst at Polaris Securities Co., who has an “overweight” rating on the stock. “They can cut costs by jointly planning flights.” Becoming a strategic investor in China Airlines “is not something that has been under consideration, said Nicholas Ionides, spokesman for Singapore Airlines. China Airlines, the largest operator of cross-strait flights, may cooperate with Chinese railways and other companies to boost its presence on the mainland, Chang said. The carrier and unit Mandarin Airlines had 29 percent of the cross-strait market last year, the Fair Trade Commission in Taipei said March 10. EVA Airways Corp., the island’s second-biggest carrier, had 21 percent. China Airlines, which is 50 percent owned by Taiwan government-controlled entities, rose 0.5 percent to NT$18.65 at 11:51 a.m. in Taipei trading. The stock has fallen 28 percent this year, compared with the 4.7 percent decline in the benchmark Taiex index, as a 12 percent jump in oil prices this year is raising fuel costs and may damp airline earnings. China Airlines’s stock price is 7.3 times its estimated 2011 earnings, compared with 12.1 for Singapore Airlines, according to Bloomberg data. SkyTeam The carrier will this year expand its global reach by joining the SkyTeam alliance, probably in August or September, Chang said. The airline grouping, which includes Air France-KLM and Delta Air Lines Inc., helps members through joint marketing and sales activities. China Airlines, which made a record quarterly profit in the three months ended Sept. 30, is considering adding investors that can bring ‘‘strategic value,” Chang said. In 1999, the company neared an agreement to sell as much as 25 percent to Singapore Airlines. The deal collapsed amid opposition from China Development Bank, a China Airlines shareholder with ties to Taiwan’s then-ruling Nationalist Party. The Taiwanese carrier will introduce four leased Airbus SAS A330s by early next year, and it may add other “readily available” planes, Chang said. It is also due to receive 14 on- order A350-900s between 2015 and 2018, he said. The airline has options to buy six more. Taiwan residents are making more long-haul overseas trips after European Union nations and other countries started offering visa-free entry, Chang said. Including EU members, 97 countries and regions allow Taiwanese to enter without a visa or with a visa on arrival, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taipei. Cross-strait ties have eased since President Ma Ying-jeou took office on the island in May 2008, dropping his predecessor’s pro-independence stance and prioritizing economic ties with the mainland. The two sides split in 1949 after a civil war. --With assistance from Janet Ong in Taipei. Editor: Dave McCombs -- 航空/鐵道/都市資料找不到?
