●Possibility of FEA Providing Service To and From Kinmen During CNY
●遠航有機會復飛春節將先飛金門
MOTC has recently approved a resumption (6) of flight services for Far Eastern Air Transport (FEA). The Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) will further inspect the air fare and conduct the validation (7) tests. On January 8th, CAA Director-General Yin, Chen-Pong (尹承蓬) said that chances are (8) FEA will resume service during the Lunar New Year holiday. FEA will start on the Taipei-Kinmen route during this initial stage. After the company was permitted to launch a corporate reorganization last year, it has been working actively to resume flight services. Last November and December, there was one MD83 each month that successfully passed the test flights and obtained an airworthiness (9) certification. Since the service resumption plan is still under inspection, the cargos were not allowed to take passengers during the test flights. Although the FEA's services resumption plan has already been approved by MOTC, it can begin to sell tickets to the public only when the CAA has completed all necessary inspections and validations for the resumption of flight services.
　 交通部最近已核定遠東航空公司復航計畫，民用航空局將審查票價及驗證飛行。民航局長尹承蓬8日表示，遠航有機會在春節期間載客；遠航將先申請台北飛金門。遠航獲准公司重整後，去年就積極為復航努力，十一月及十二月，各有一架MD83型飛機修復完成，申請試飛獲准，但因復航相關計畫仍在審查中，試飛的飛機不能載客。交通部雖然最近已核准遠航的復航計畫，但還需要民航局完成相關復航檢查，才能對外售票營運。
