Trip from Taipei (TSA) to Taitung (TTT)

Taiwan has three main domestic airlines flying from TSA to every Taiwanese airport (FAT – Far Eastern Air Transport, Mandarin Airlines and UNI Air). I booked a flight to Taitung with UNI Air and Mandarin Airlines for the return flight at the same day. Taitung is located on the southeast coast of Taiwan facing the Pacific Ocean. Taitung City is the most populous subdivision of Taitung County.

Official information about UNI AIR:

UNI AIR was formerly known as Makung Airlines. It was first established to serve Penghu residents and to strengthen local development. EVA AIR purchased the equity of Makung Airlines in 1995 and formally changed the Company’s name to UNI AIR in 1996.

UNI AIR follows in the footsteps of EVA AIR in maintaining international service standards in terms of both flight service and operation. On March 30, 2012, UNI AIR announced its brand new corporate identity logo. In addition to conveying the Evergreen Group’s spirit of enterprise, the logo also reflects its aircraft’s livery incorporates the new corporate identity: The body of aircraft painted in the green color, which symbolizes humanity’s most precious green earth. The upper half of the aircraft features sweeping orange and green lines to create a sincere, friendly and lively aura while fully showcasing UNI AIR’s business traits, which include innovation, forward-looking and flexibility.
