A China Airlines plane from Taiwan lands at Shanghai Pudong International
Airport January 20, 2006, bringing the first group of Spring Festival
travellers to the mainland and lifting the curtain of the chartered
flights between Taiwan and the mainland. The plane departed from Taipei
at about 8:00am and landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport at
10:34am. Seventy-two flights, operated by airlines both from Taiwan and
the mainland, are arranged this year for Taiwan compatriots. The plane
returns to Taipei in the afternoon, bringing Taiwanese home for the
biggest holiday in the Chinese-speaking world. [newsphoto]
