Quote:

"China Airlines Ltd may gain the most of any air-cargo carrier [in China and Taiwan]

"Because new flights approved across the strait are split evenly between China and Taiwan, the island’s five carriers get a bigger slice of the pie relative to the mainland’s eight airlines. Slots within each country are handed out based on fleet size, giving China Airlines an edge over Taiwanese cargo rival EVA Airways Corp.

"'Products shipped by air are high-end, high-priced goods,' said Corinne Jian, an analyst at Macquarie Securities Ltd. in Taipei. Electronic products made up 27.2 percent of Taiwan’s exports in the first nine months of this year and Hong Kong and China together accounted for 40.6 percent of those shipments, data from the island’s Ministry of Finance show.

"In addition to passenger aircraft that carry freight in the holds, there are 56 direct cross-strait cargo-only flights weekly. China Airlines and EVA Airways each have 14 as the only operators in Taiwan, while Air China Cargo Co. and China Southern Airlines are among five mainland carriers sharing the other 28 flights.
