On the morning of November 22, TransAsia Airways held an interim board meeting. Due to unsustainable losses and the inability to boost passenger load factors — operating at a loss every day — the board resolved to dissolve the company and applied to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for a long-term flight suspension. Regarding airport flight operations, passengers were also informed that all flights on November 22 would be canceled due to flight scheduling. TransAsia Airways held a press conference at 2 PM on November 22 at the Air Force Officers’ and Soldiers’ Activity Center to provide an explanation.
