33. 台美人感激美國聯邦眾議員 Ed Royce

台美人的福音,也是台灣人的福音!
南加州Ontario機場直飛桃園機場的航線25日首發!
因為是新航線的關係吧,飛機比預定時間晚的41分鐘,我想大概是駕駛迷途了,找新航路飛要一點時間繞一繞。
我女兒及女婿這次回台就搭了這台灣航空(華航)的首發班次!不但搭車到機場的費用少很多,時間上也省得非常的多!

LAX 是非常擁擠的機場。不管是通關或是等飛機或者是路上的交通,對洛杉磯的居民都是非常大的夢靨!現在這個安大略的機場開通後,台美之間的遊客在時間上金錢上都可以得到非常大的便利,這一切都是來自美國聯邦眾議員 Ed Royce 不斷地努力才得到的,可惜 Ed不再競選下屆聯邦眾議員了。不過他對台灣的友好以及對台灣人民的貢獻,所有的台灣人台美人都會感激在心裡。0127


Rep. Royce: “Non-Stop, International Flights From Ontario, CA Are Engine for Job Growth and Opportunity”

 

Washington, January 23, 2018 –

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Representative Ed Royce (CA-39) released the following statement after China Airlines confirmed the first dates for newly added international flights from Ontario International Airport (ONT) to Taipei (TPE), Taiwan:

“Today, we celebrate an important milestone in the decades-long effort to bring daily, nonstop international flights to Ontario, California. As Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, I fought to make this possible given the important role that Southern California plays as gateway to the Asia-Pacific region. China Airlines’ decision to expand flights from Taipei, Taiwan, into Ontario will create job growth and opportunity throughout our region.”

“Taiwan’s entry into the Visa Waiver Program in 2012 and Global Entry in 2017 – two programs that I championed – have already translated into new growth with travel volume between the U.S. and Taiwan increasing by more than 50 percent. Bringing international flights to Ontario Airport will energize Southern California and fulfill the promise of broad economic development.”

Background:

In August of 2017, Rep. Royce led a bipartisan delegation to Taiwan for a fifth time as Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee to advocate for peace, stability, and economic growth. During the visit, the delegation met with the mayor of Taoyuan, Taiwan and the chairman of China Airlines to discuss the company’s plans to expand nonstop service to California’s Ontario Airport.

Taiwan is California’s seventh largest trading partner, and the people of Taiwan spend approximately $7 billion a year on Californian goods and services. This translates into significant economic benefits for California residents as more tourists and business travelers take advantage of a closer and more efficient way to travel across the Pacific Ocean.
