"新廉價航空計畫於2014開設"

台灣預計將於明年增設兩間廉價航空。

由於亞洲對廉價機票的需求增加，航空公司迫切希望能夠利用這有利可圖的市場來大賺一筆。台灣的首間民航業者復興航空最近宣布他們計劃要花大約30億新台幣來設立台灣首間在地廉價航空。根據復興航空指出，他們預期在2014年年底會開始營運，希望能夠完全符合台灣人的需求和期望。

另外一方面，台灣機隊數量第一的主要航空公司華航也跟新加坡的虎航合作，在台灣建立新的廉價航空。華航董事長孫洪祥對此合資企業作出評論，表示他有信心華航對台灣市場的知識再加上虎航對低成本航空業的專業知識定能提升台灣民航市場的需求。

新加坡的捷星亞洲航空是首間於2004年在台灣營運的廉價航空。自捷星進軍台灣後，低成本的航空公司就越來越熱門、規模也越來越大，現在台灣有13間廉價航空。

(Travel) New Budget Airlines Planned for 2014

Taiwan is set to launch two new budget airlines next year.

As demand for discount flying grows in Asia, airlines are eager to tap into the lucrative market. Taiwans first private airline TransAsia Airways recently announced plans to spend around NT$3 billion on setting up the countrys first locally based budget airline. According to the company, it expects to begin services by the end of 2014, with the hope of completely catering to the needs and expectations of the Taiwanese people.

On the other hand, China Airlines, Taiwans leading airline by fleet size, has also teamed up with Singapore-based carrier Tigerair to form a new budget carrier in Taiwan. Commenting on the joint venture, chairman of China Airlines Sun Hung-Hsiang is confident that China Airlines knowledge of the Taiwan market along with Tigerairs expertise in the no-frills sector will drive up demand in the countrys civil aviation market.

Singapores Jetstar Asia was the first budget carrier to begin operating in Taiwan in 2004. Since its launch, low-cost airlines have grown significantly in popularity and scope, with Taiwan now being host to 13 budget carriers.
