China and Taiwan will add 100 direct passenger flights and 20 more cargo flights a week bringing the total number of passenger flights to 370 and cargo flights to 48 from mid-June. Six new airports will also be opened for passenger or cargo flights. Analysts say it is a sign that business between the political rivals is picking up ahead of a free trade-style deal due to be signed next month. “New flights will be a reflection of economic interaction, as for Taiwan certainly China is one of its fastest growing markets,” said David Cohen, Director of Asian economic forecasting with Action Economics in Singapore. “It does appear to be one of the fastest growing relationships anywhere on the planet,” he said.
