China Airlines will fully restore daily round-trip service between Southern California’s Ontario International Airport (ONT) and Taipei beginning March 26, 2023, ONT officials announced.on
The return of daily service connecting ONT and Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) marks a major milestone in Ontario’s recovery of international air service, all of which was suspended at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic nearly three years ago.
After suspending service in March 2020, China Airlines resumed ONT-TPE flights in June 2021, gradually increasing service levels as demand returned. The resumption of daily service occurs at the same time that China Airlines marks its five-year anniversary at ONT.
The first carrier to offer nonstop, transoceanic passenger service to ONT after its transition to local ownership, China Airlines will upgrade the aircraft operating the route from an Airbus A350-900 to a larger Boeing 777-300ER, increasing seat capacity from 306 to 358 across premium business, premium economy and economy classes. The service is also scheduled to provide customers with seamless one-stop connections to additional destinations throughout Asia.
TPE is the primary international gateway to northern Taiwan’s more than 9 million residents, while ONT is the closest and most convenient international gateway airport for more than 10 million Southern California residents in San Bernardino, Riverside, northern Orange and eastern Los Angeles counties.
Domestic air travel through ONT surpassed pre-pandemic levels in 2022, a milestone achieved by few other airports in California.

Northern Pacific Airways is not going to Alaska, for now. The carrier’s previous business plan was to use Anchorage as a connecting waypoint linking the United States with Asia.
Instead the carrier has announced it will launch its first route on June 2, a much shorter route linking the current Ontario, CA (ONT) base with Las Vegas (LAS) according to Ailevon Pacific Aviation Consulting.
The service is basically a weekend service to Las Vegas as it will depart ONT on Fridays and return to ONT on Sundays.
The company officially made this announcement:
Northern Pacific Airways (NP), America’s newest low-fare airline, is launching its first route and inaugural passenger flight this spring with Los Angeles-area service departing from convenient Ontario International Airport (ONT), with nonstop service to Las Vegas, NV, with fares starting from just $69* one way.
“This announcement today represents the achievement of a major milestone for Northern Pacific Airways,” said Rob McKinney, Northern Pacific Airways’ CEO. “The airline now has a live flight schedule, purchasable tickets, and refurbished aircraft ready to go, and I can’t wait for passengers to meet our team onboard and fly with us.”
“I know that our weekend getaway flights will be an incredibly convenient and cost-effective way for people to enjoy themselves in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas,” said McKinney. “I’m especially thankful to our team around the world and especially to those in Anchorage, Alaska for their dedication and hard work.”
Los Angeles flights will leave from Ontario International Airport (ONT) on Fridays at 14:00 local time and arrive into Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) approximately one hour later. Return flights are scheduled to leave Las Vegas at 14:00 on Sundays and arrive in Ontario at 15:00 local time.
Service commences June 2, 2023 and is available to be booked on select online travel agencies and through your travel agent.** Passengers can book directly on https://np.com/
