Taiwan’s flag-carrier China Airlines has quietly boosted its commitment to the Czech market in the latest northern-summer 2026 schedule filings. From 31 March 2026 the airline will deploy a 300-seat Airbus A350-900—an ex-SAS aircraft configured with a bigger premium-economy cabin—on its Taipei (TPE)–Prague (PRG) route. The up-gauging coincides with the addition of a third weekly frequency starting 2 April, giving Prague a 50 percent increase in nonstop capacity to East Asia just ahead of the peak conference and leisure season.
The revised timetable shows flight CI067 departing Taoyuan late evening and touching down in Prague at 06:55 the following day, with the return CI068 leaving at 10:40 and arriving back in Taipei at 05:05. The daylight schedule is tailored to connect in both directions with China Airlines’ regional network to Japan, the Philippines and Australia, as well as with Prague-based European codeshare partners.

For Czech exporters and tech firms, the upgrade offers much-needed belly-cargo space after a winter in which freight forwarders complained of capacity crunches on the Amsterdam run. Travel-management companies also expect stronger demand from semiconductor suppliers and graduate students following the recent relaxation of Czech long-stay visa quotas for Taiwanese nationals.
The move cements Prague’s status as a Central-European gateway for Taiwanese business and leisure travellers, competing directly with Vienna and Munich. Airport operator Letiště Praha welcomed the announcement, noting that Asian arrivals in the first half of 2025 had already rebounded to 85 percent of pre-pandemic levels. The airport is in talks with China Airlines about potential fourth-weekly flights in winter 2026/27, contingent on slot availability.
Travel buyers should review corporate fare agreements: the additional flight falls on Fridays (eastbound) and Sundays (westbound), attractive for week-long project rotations. Companies with Asia–Europe shuttle programmes may want to shift volume to the expanded Prague service to take advantage of shorter door-to-door times compared with hub-and-spoke routings via Frankfurt or Doha.
