圖片來源台灣航空Taiwan Airlines (TA) was a defunct Taiwanese airline that briefly operated from the 1980s to the 1990s. Its establishment coincided with the gradual opening of Taiwan's aviation market and the diversification of the civil aviation industry. At that time, in addition to major airlines such as China Airlines, EVA Air, and TransAsia Airways, smaller new airlines emerged, and TA was born in this environment.

**TA's operations focused primarily on domestic routes, while also assessing the possibility of developing short-haul regional routes, attempting to find niche markets outside of established airlines. Its fleet was relatively small, mainly using short-range propeller aircraft, with the BN-2 being the most representative model. This aircraft type was suitable for short-to-medium-haul, high-density routes.

However, TA faced multiple challenges in its actual operations. On the one hand, the domestic aviation market was highly competitive, with fares and flight schedules largely dominated by large airlines; on the other hand, small and medium-sized airlines were at a disadvantage in terms of capital, fleet size, maintenance, and marketing resources, making it difficult to effectively amortize operating costs. Lacking sufficient capital and market size, Taiwanese airlines struggled to establish a stable profit model and ultimately chose to cease operations.**
