For the first time in three years, EVA Airways Corp. resumed regular service between Komatsu Airport in Ishikawa Prefecture and Taipei on Saturday.
The service was suspended due to the COVID 19 pandemic and the firm previously had only been operating five days a week. Local stakeholders welcomed the reintroduction of the regular service with daily flights.
Representatives from Fukui and Ishikawa prefectures welcomed inbound travelers in the arrival lobby on the day, holding banners to welcome visitors to the region. The Saturday flight arrived at around 10: 25 a.m. and the lobby bustled as tourists completed their entry procedures.
A 35-year-old woman from Taiwan, visiting as part of a tour with her sister, said I m looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms. The women plan to visit tourist sites in the Hokuriku region and Gifu prefecture.
Domestic users were also welcomed by the regular service. An English teacher living in Kanazawa who returned to Taiwan for the first time in three years to see her parents via Kansai International Airport was able to return on the Komatsu-Taipei flight. The woman said it's convenient and saves time. It was great to see my parents looking healthy.
