China Airlines transfers a LAX service to Ontario, California

China Airlines has moved 1 of its 2 daily Los Angeles International services to Ontario, California, in the eastern part of the metropolitan area, to get closer to ethnically Chinese people living there. The service from Taipei is the first direct Asian connection for Ontario International, the carrier said, adding that it “has now set its sights on the market for travel between Greater Los Angeles and Southeast Asia.” The San Gabriel Valley in eastern Los Angeles is a popular residential location for immigrants from Taiwan and China and their descendants. ONT is about 80km east of LAX. Boeing 777-300ERs are flying the Taipei-Ontario route, which opened March 25. The unusual move means that China Airlines has reduced its frequency at LAX to 1 flight a day. <br/>
