The 2016 Taipei International Travel Fair (Taipei ITF 2016) will be held from November 4 to 7 at Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center. This year, China Airlines is showcasing its brand-new A350 aircraft, billed as "the most technologically advanced, energy-efficient, eco-friendly, spacious, and quiet." A special A350 cabin simulation experience has been arranged at the fair, allowing visitors to explore and experience it firsthand.

China Airlines took delivery of its new A350 aircraft at the end of September. To give the public an early “mini experience,” the airline has set up an A350 cabin simulation experience at the fair, offering a unique flight sensation and a chance to win a variety of exquisite gifts. In addition, China Airlines has also arranged 3D art installations and performances featuring iconic global destinations. Visitors are welcome to stop by the China Airlines booth to explore, take photos, and plan their next journey. (China Airlines / Mandarin Airlines Booth: Hall 1, A813)
