Great China Airlines


Great China Airlines was a Taiwanese-based airline founded in 1966, operating mainly in the general aviation business, such as helicopter pesticide spraying, resupply, or charter flights. It was suspended and changed owners, when in 1987 Taiwan started its open skies policy. In April 1994, another carrier called EVA Air acquired 24% of Great China Airlines. It would later be merged with Taiwan Airways into Uni Air.
