China Airlines is happy to be receiving the 100th A350 XWB,” said Nuan-shuan Ho, Chairman of China Airlines. “This remarkable new aircraft has not only met, but exceeded our expectations at every level.
One would have thought if this comment is really true then they would definitely confirm the 6 remaining options.

Well as one mentioned before they still have 6 747's flying for another 4/5 years. A few A330'S leaving the fleet in 4/5years time and maybe the B777's leaving in 7/8 yrs time. I know its far away but lead times for ordering aircraft are a good 3/4 yrs.

China Airlines this week filed first major changes to its summer 2018 operation, effective from 25MAR18. Initial changes as follows.
Taipei Taoyuan – Bangkok eff 25MAR18 CI833/834 A350-900XWB replaces 747-400
Taipei Taoyuan – Honolulu eff 25MAR18 A350-900XWB continues to operate 2 weekly, replacing previously filed A330
Taipei Taoyuan – London Gatwick eff 27MAR18 Increase from 4 to 5 weekly, new service on Day 2
Taipei Taoyuan – New York JFK eff 25MAR18 Previously filed 5th weekly service cancelled. CI continues to operate this route 4 times a week with 777-300ER
Taipei Taoyuan – Okinawa eff 25MAR18 A350-900XWB operates CI122/123 3 times a week
Taipei Taoyuan – Sydney eff 25MAR18 Northern summer season operates 11 weekly (CI055/056 Day x136) instead of 14 weekly. A350 operation.
Previously reported changes:
Taipei Taoyuan – Frankfurt eff 25MAR18 777-300ER continues operating 1 daily, replacing previously filed A350
Taipei Taoyuan – Vienna eff 01MAR18 Increase from 3 to 5 weekly.
Sadly no news yet about BNE or MEL getting the updated cabins and So still stuck on short haul cabin for a 8 to 10HR flight. One Would think its about time to finish the replacement...Surely new route openings which are not yet announced are not important As this.
Yes some frequency increases for some european destinations but Also a reduction for SYD So Surely they will Have 2 or 3 aircraft spare by March/April 2018.

Thanks for that. Its good to know that is coming soon. Now I can book PE whenever I fly long haul now.
This will leave the airline with 1 or 2 frames available towards then end of 2018 to maybe look at expansion.
But also still no news on the 6 options.
