Taiwan's China Airlines goes all out to improve safety, recast its image
Article Abstract:
Taiwan's China Airlines has changed its corporate image by replacing Taiwan's flag and Nationalist colors in its logo with a pink plum blossom amid shades of purple. It has also begun to emphasize safety issues and announced the purchase of 10 new 150-seater aircraft. Observers believe that the new image and the new aircraft are part of a strategy to maintain existing routes to Hong Kong after 1997 and to open the way for direct flights to mainland China.
