Why DYNASTY
China Airlines, Taiwan's flag carrier, took DYNASTY in a 1995 rebrand that also replaced its flag livery with the plum blossom. The word nods to China's imperial past and keeps the airline distinct on frequency from the many mainland carriers with China in their names. Its loyalty program is Dynasty Flyer.
China Airlines is the state-owned flag carrier of Taiwan, headquartered near Taoyuan International Airport. It operates scheduled passenger and cargo flights to over 100 destinations across Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. The airline is a key member of the SkyTeam alliance.
