Why It Matters
Penghu used to be served by many airlines, but after the suspension of Far Eastern Airlines and TransAsia Airways, only UNI Air and Mandarin Airlines remained, resulting in insufficient supply of air tickets, making it difficult to get a ticket even in the off-season.

There were many airlines flying in Penghu during its heyday. After Far East and TransAsia Airways ceased their flights, only UNI Air and Mandarin Airlines remained. Due to flight scheduling and insufficient flight attendants, it was difficult to get a ticket to Penghu. This was not only the case in the peak season, but also in the off-season. Therefore, the preparation of a third airline has become the common expectation of both the government and the public in Penghu. Now it is rumored that the third airline in preparation has been officially named "Kiudao Airlines".
According to information, Penghu’s third airline was founded by Lan Junsheng, chairman of related companies such as Huiyang Airlines and Best Dory Hotel. It was originally a preparatory office established by Huixiang Airlines and is now officially named "Judao Airlines". When the preparations are completed in the future, it will officially become the third airline in Penghu to and from Taiwan. The new name will be "Judao Airlines". Because it is an airline founded by Penghu people, like the previous Magong Airlines, it is worthy of the outside world's expectations.
