The first direct cargo charter flight between Taiwan and Chinese mainland took off on Wednesday evening, a breakthrough since 1949.
A Boeing 747-400 from China Airlines, Taiwan's largest air carrier, left Taipei at around 10:20 p.m. for Shanghai, carrying some 70 tons of chip equipment to the eastern Chinese metropolis.
The charter flight is expected to arrive at Shanghai Pudong International Airport at about 1:00 a.m. Thursday after a nearly three hours' trip and then make a return flight two hours later.
