ST MAARTEN'S Princess Julianna Airport reopened to commercial traffic on October 10, with repairs still taking place. The Caribbean airport, famous because landing aircraft fly low over beachgoers, was badly damaged by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. A new non-stop service between Gatwick Airport and Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport, due to start on December 1, marks CHINA AIRLINES' return to the UK following a five-year break. The service will operate four times weekly using the carrier's fleet of new Airbus A350-900S. China Airlines previously operated from London/Heathrow to Taipei from 2010 to 2012, before switching to Amsterdam with onward connections via codeshare partner KLM-Royal Dutch Airlines.
