Hong Kong Express airline company was given the go-ahead on Tuesday to operate charter flight services between Hong Kong and Taichung, of central Taiwan, according a report reaching here from Taipei.

The announcement was made by an official of the local authority on Tuesday.

He said, in principle, the Hong Kong Express can fly the route Wednesday at the earliest if enough passengers sign up for the flight.

Hopefully, more Hong Kong tourists will visit the central area of Taiwan with the new charter flights in place, he believed.

Taiwan is also one of the large sourcing markets for Hong Kong tourism industry.
