No stranger to tough times, China Airlines got its start shuttling supplies to insurgents on the Thai-Burmese border, making parachute drops over Laos, and conducting spy flights over Vietnam. Now the company's fleet of more than 65 aircraft, which includes Boeing and Airbus jets, flies passengers and freight to about 65 cities in Asia, Europe, and North America from its hub in Taipei, Taiwan. Some destinations are served via code-sharing agreements with partners such as Delta Air Lines. (Code-sharing allows carriers to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus extend their networks.) China Airlines was founded by retired military pilots in 1959 with a fleet of two seaplanes.
