We Treasure Each Encounter

Clean Cabin

To make you a comfortable and safe environment on board, we've raised the standard for cleanliness. And the aircraft cabins will be disinfected periodically.

The safe seat selection

Starting from 1st MAY to 31st OCT 2020, China Airlines initiates the plan of "safe seat selection" for the premium economy class and the economy class on the CI / AE international flights. The principle of the "safe seat selection" plan is to keep middle seats empty or to separate the seat selection by the aisle to avoid passengers sitting directly beside each other.

• If you have pre-selected the seats before the launch of this plan, your seat will be reserved.
• To comply with the policy of the Taiwan government regarding COVID-19 prevention, China Airlines and Mandarin Airlines reserve the right to adjust the passenger's inflight seat.

Fresh and recycled air quality

• During flight, fresh air continuously enters engines that treated with high-temperature/high-pressure and is then circulated to the cabin in a cool, pressurized manner for the comfort of the passengers.
• Through the negative pressure design of air circulation system and filter it with HEPA filter, the air mixes with new fresh air for recycling into the cabin again. The air exchange rate can reach 15 to 30 times per hour and the cabin can complete air change every 2~3 minutes. Air passing through HEPA filter system is cleansed 99.99% of particles, germs and viruses, making cabin air particularly clean.
• In lavatories and galleys, air is exhausted directly without being recycled for cabin use to avoid the spread of viruses and ensure air quality.
