China Airlines Looks to Sell Airbus A350 for Leaseback

Taiwanese national flag carrier China Airlines is looking to sell two Airbus A350-900s for leaseback. The news out today comes after the Taipei Taoyuan International Airport-headquartered airline agreed to sell and leaseback five Airbus A330-300s earlier in May.

The deadline for receiving bids on the widebodies is June 1.

In other news related to Taiwan’s largest airline, CNN reported a few days ago that China Airlines was thinking about changing the airline's name because people would associate the airline with mainland China rather than Taiwan. This is all due to the coronavirus and the Taiwanese nation wishing not to be so closely associated with China.
