Passengers from Taiwan are all smile when they
arrive in Shanghai January 20, 2006, lifting the curtain of Spring
Festival chartered flights between Taiwan and the mainland. They departed
from Taipei at about 8:00am and landed at Shanghai Pudong
International Airport at 10:34am on a China Airlines plane. Seventy-two
flights, operated by airlines both from Taiwan and the mainland, are
arranged this year for Taiwan compatriots. The plane returns to Taipei in
the afternoon, bringing Taiwanese home for the biggest holiday in the
Chinese-speaking world. [newsphoto]
