Russia’s Transaero Airlines is set to reopen Moscow-Taipei flights. From July, 3, the carrier will operate weekly Boeing 767-300 service between the cities. Last year, the Transaero signed a codeshare agreement with Taiwan’s China Airlines on the Moscow-Bangkok-Taipei route.

Transaero originally launched Moscow-Taipei flights in 2002, but stopped the service after a short period due to low demand.

Transaero is the second biggest carrier in Russia. In 2013 it carried 12.5 million passengers. It has a fleet of 98 aircraft, comprising 20 Boeing 747s, 14 777s, 15 767s, 44 737s, three Tupolev Tu-214s and two Tu-204-100Cs.

Transaero is the first carrier in Russia to order Airbus A380s, A320neos and Boeing 747-8Is.
