China Airlines North America Launches First In-Flight Restaurant Collaboration on Flights to Asia

New Partnership Brings Taiwanese Flavors to All Cabin Classes on Los Angeles–Taipei and Ontario–Taipei Routes Beginning October 1

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- China Airlines, a Taiwan-based carrier, has partnered with Asian American Michelin-Guided restaurant Wenwen. As Taiwanese co-founder and creative chef Eric Sze grew up flying with China Airlines as his mother was a cabin crew for China Airlines and “as a lifetime flyer of China Airlines, I have a sense of inherited loyalty.” The airline recently launched new branding videos, highlighting the airline’s long-standing role in connecting families across generations. This story resonates especially with generational travelers, including first and second-generation communities who grew up flying with families between North America and Asia.

The collaboration reflects the airline’s long-standing role in connecting families across generations. Today, many travelers are entering new life stages, from graduation trips to family visits and leisure travel to Asia. The meals are designed to evoke nostalgia while showcasing popular Taiwanese flavors, bringing a taste of Taiwan to the skies. Because your trip doesn’t start when you touch down, it starts once you step aboard China Airlines.

Wenwen x China Airlines meals will be available on flights departing from LAX and ONT to Asia. (LAX/ONT-TPE route). The collaboration is scheduled to launch on October 1, with featured dishes across all cabin classes.

• Economy Class: Taiwan’s well-loved signature Lo Ba Beng (Braised pork rice)
• Premium Economy: Surf and Turf YouFan (Sticky Rice with Seared Pork Belly, Prawn and Uni Butter)
• Business Class: Taiwanese-inspired snacks with a creative twist, launching with Mapo Sweet Potato Mochi Gnocchi

Eric Sze also says, “As a chef, I have been on a personal journey to put a spotlight on the beauties of Taiwan through food. Beyond restaurants, I have begun to venture into the field of media where I’ve hosted shows for Munchies, Bon Appetite, First We Feast, Eater and beyond. Some of them have shown up on the China Airlines in-flight entertainment system. As I step deeper into the world of media, my mission of spotlighting Taiwanese food remains untouched.”

Travelers can look forward to additional Taiwanese signature dishes throughout the collaboration, including braised pork belly, beef short rib noodles, huadiao egg tofu, and more.
