About TransAsia Airways
TransAsia Airways was an airline based in Taipei, Taiwan and was focused on domestic flights. The airline had its hub airport at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport and had V Air as a subsidiary budget airline. TransAsia Airways flew to many destinations including Osaka, Tokyom Okinawa, Sapporo, Jeju, Macau, Palau, Siem Reap, Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, Kinmen, Hualien, Makung, Shanghai, Changsha, Xuzhou, Wuhan, Tianjin, Hefei and many others. TransAsia Airways also had codeshare agreements with Shenzhen Airlines and XiamenAir.
TransAsia Airways was established in 1951 and in 2014 ordered ATR72-600s including options for a further three and launched Taoyuan - Quanzhou and Taoyuan - Guiyang. TransAsia Airways' fleet consisted of Airbus A330-200, A321-100, A321-200, A330-300 and ATR 72-600 aircraft. Business class was offered on the Airbus A330-300 in a 2-2-2 configuration with a 160-degree recline. Economy class was available on all aircraft, in a 2-4-2 configuration on the Airbus A330-300, a 3-3 configuration on the Airbus A320-200 and Airbus A321-100, and a 2-2 configuration on the ATR series.
TransAsia had 19 aircraft in service – six Airbus A320s, five A321s and eight ATR 72s. It also had four Airbus A330s, one A321 and one A320 in storage. In 2016, TransAsia Airways had announced that it would cease operations permanently and entered into liquidation. The company continuously lost money, and its shares had been sliding since the crashes in 2014 and 2015, raising questions about the safety of its planes.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.
From start to finish the process of selecting, confirming, processing of payment, timely travel docs, check-in experience was absolutely flawless! I will be using Alternative Airlines every time I travel!
Alternative Airlines made what would have been an otherwise difficult situation much easier to manage. Thank you, Alternative Airlines.
It was my first time using Alternative Airlines and it was one of the best experiences I had in booking my flights. The process was easy and the flight options were clearly laid out.
The support I received was stellar - response time was so quick and I love how they have a WhatsApp option for chatting.
So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.
Very easy to use. Helped me to plan my trip to Vancouver and the payment plan made things way easier and stress-free. Would use them again for sure.
I’ve used Alternative Airlines three times already, and each experience has been AWESOME! Their “Buy Now, Pay Later” options are such a game-changer.
My journey with Alternative Airlines was nothing short of excellent. Their commitment to providing a stress-free booking experience and diverse payment solutions has earned them my trust and loyalty.
This was a very simple and affordable way to book such a big trip! I love the way they show you the breakdown of what you are actually paying and your payment schedule. I highly recommend this!
What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
I have been using Alternative Airlines for the past 4 years and have never had a poor experience. Destinations are unlimited with a variety of options available for inflight upgrades.
