CAA ALLOTS TRANSASIA'S OPERATION RIGHTS TO DOMESTIC AIRLINERS|民航局:復興航權收回分配 國內線不中斷

After TransAsia Airways unexpectedly ceased operations and shut down last November, the Ministry of Transportation arranged for the China Airlines group to continue TransAsia's services up to February 15th of this year. The Civil Aeronautics Administration has now announced that TransAsia's service operation rights have been divided among other airlines and approved by the Ministry of Transportation. Domestic air services, which have come under much attention after TransAsia's shutdown, will continue. Starting on February 16th, the Taipei-Hualien service will be operated by Uni Air and the Taichung-Hualien service will be operated by Mandarin Airlines. A consensus has finally be reached regarding the division of TransAsia's service operation rights after the airline's dissolution. It is now confirmed that TransAsia's former Hualien services will continue. Starting February 16th, Uni Air will operate Taipei-Hualien and Mandarin Airlines will operate Taichung-Hualien. ==CHEN CHAO-YU CAA Planning Division Chief== We have divided up the service operations rights among the airlines, and then the airlines will be free to arrange their flight schedules. (Is it true that money-making services are bundled with money-losing services?) It's true that the airlines must also take on policy-oriented services. Mandarin Airlines took over Hualien air services after TransAsia shut down, but Mandarin has expressed dissatisfaction that the service was a money sink. Many are worried that Hualien services may be discontinued, but after many rounds of CAA negotiations, an agreement has been reached to bundle TransAsia's money-making services with its money-losing services.The China Airlines and EVA Air groups, which are taking over Hualien service, will also receive TransAsia's lucrative Shanghai services.However, TransAsia's labor disputes are still ongoing. Taipei's Department of Labor had scheduled a seventh labor-management negotiation for the 20th, but the negotiation failed to reach quorum when TransAsia's management declined to attend, citing that its assets were still being settled. ==HUANG YU-MING Labor Standards Div. Chief, Taipei Dept. of Labor== The company told us ahead of time they could not attend because their liquidator was still declaring their assets to the court. So (the negotiations) have to be delayed until it can be clear if either side will change their representatives. The Department of Labor has issued a deadline for TransAsia to confirm its representatives in the labor association, and will designate representatives itself if TransAsia does not do so. TransAsia's labor union is threatening further measures if the management continues to delay. TRANSLATED BY：JOHN CHEN 復興航空去年11月22日無預警停飛解散，交通部緊急指派華航集團接手復興航線到2月15日，民航局今天上午宣布，在19日已經完成復興的航權分配，並報交通部核定，受關切的國內線不會中斷，2月16日起，台北-花蓮由立榮航空經營，台中-花蓮航線由華信航空經營 復興停飛解散後的航權分配，終於在週四達成初步共識，其中，備受關注的花蓮航線，確定不會斷航， 2月16日起，台北花蓮航線由立榮經營，台中花蓮由華信經營。 ==民航局企畫組組長 陳昭瑜 vs. 記者== 我們是分配航權 那他們取得航權後 他們再去做有關 他們航班的安排 有瘦(賠錢)綁肥(賺錢) 這樣的狀況嗎 有這樣子的政策配合事項 復興停飛後花蓮航線由華信航空救火經營，業者大喊慘賠，也讓外界憂慮花蓮航線是否可能中斷，經過民航局多次協商，以"賺錢"綁"賠錢"模式完成分配，接手花蓮航線的華航和長榮集團，也能同時分配到復興過去最賺錢的上海航線，雖然復興航權分配順利完成，但勞資爭議依然沒有落幕，台北市勞動局20號原訂照開第七次勞資協商會議，但復興航空以還在清算資產為由請假，資方無人出席讓協商會議流會。 ==北市勞動局勞動基礎科科長 黃毓銘== 公司是有來請假 就是說因為他們目前清算人 目前還在向法院申報當中 等於(協商)是要往後遞延到 兩邊之間的代表 是不是有更換 這樣子 勞動局已發函限期復興提出協商代表名單，若復興航空公司拒不改善，勞動局將依職權代為指定資方協商代表，復興企業工會則喊話，如果資方繼續閃躲，絕對會發起更激烈抗爭。
