Jakarta/Taipei, Jan. 6 (CNA) A Taiwan-bound humanitarian charter flight has been arranged for Jan. 11 to transport about 50 passengers who are either in need of medical care or stranded on the islands of Guam and Saipan, Taiwan s representative office in Guam said on Wednesday.
The planned flight, first reported by the Guam Daily Post earlier Wednesday, will be operated by China Airlines, one of Taiwan s major carriers.
It will carry Guam residents seeking off-island medical treatment and Taiwanese nationals stranded in the United States territory due to COVID-19-triggered unemployment, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Guam told CNA.
