With strict border controls still in place in Taiwan, I would not be optimistic about EVA's flight situation in the summer. The government recently relaxed entry restrictions to permit foreign relatives of Taiwan nationals and Alien Resident Certificate holders. Most of those wishing to travel for business reasons are also permitted. But there is still a ban on tourism and no indication as to when this might be lifted or eased.

I suppose those in the above categories warrant EVA undertaking some flights, but unlikely to be more than a few each month. My friends in Taipei reckon a general opening up will not occur until later in the year. My hope is that we will be able to travel in time for the 2022 Gay Pride Parade on the last Saturday in October.
