Uni Air

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uni Air is an airline based in Taiwan, a domestic and regional subsidiary of EVA Air. It was known as Makung International Airlines until 1996, when EVA Air took a majority share of the airline. In 1998, the airline merged with Great China Airlines and Taiwan Airways, which EVA Air also had interests in.

The airline has had the largest market share in the domestic Taiwan market in recent years, and has expanded into international flight. A few of its McDonnell Douglas MD-90 aircraft have been repainted and are flying for parent carrier EVA Air due to overcapacity; its rival also faces the same problem.
