To welcome the 2026 Lunar New Year, China Airlines, a Taiwan-based carrier, is serving festive in-flight desserts to travelers as part of the holiday celebrations. From February 16 to February 18, the limited-time New Year desserts can be enjoyed by travelers on flights departing from Taiwan. The theme, Ang Ku Kueh - Endless Blessings, from traditional culture became the inspiration for this year’s Red Tortoise Cake symbolizing longevity. The candied orange peel and white bean paste cake will appeal to those with a sweet tooth, and the BAC Caramel Nut Pastry, with limited edition New Year packaging, as well as the WooTEA co-branded Gold Ingot Pineapple Cake and Honey Bear Cake will provide a perfect start to the holiday festivities. These desserts will add to the festive New Year atmosphere even as travelers fly from place to place.

In keeping with the holiday spirit, China Airlines has introduced the Pink Chia Honey Lemonade cold-pressed fruit juice as the new welcome drink for Business Class. The refreshing taste of lemon is infused with the elegant Lychee fragrance of Taiwanese honey to achieve the perfect balance of the sweet and sour. Connoisseurs will appreciate the rich texture of the Chia seeds, while the pink hue of dragon fruit juice brings to mind the blooming flowers of spring and the romance of Valentine's Day. Made with ingredients from eco-friendly agriculture, the in-flight experience reflects China Airlines' longstanding support for local farmers.

China Airlines is once again partnering with popular brands to add extra human warmth and ingenuity to the journey. Kuai Kuai has been popular since its introduction and features quarterly packaging updates for the Sky Lounge on long-haul flights. The latest golden Kuai Kuai with Five Spices Flavor package is decorated with clouds and aircraft motifs, wishing people smooth sailing in their journey and in life. Starting this year, the Gold Medal Taiwan Beer will be served on all routes and in all cabin classes. The can is decorated with clever motifs such as soup dumplings, heritage buildings, and Gaiji bags to highlight the unique vitality and charm of Taiwan. China Airlines also secured a partnership with Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, a household name with thirty years of history, for their Premium Business class long-haul routes. After extensively testing different recipes, the taste of home has been successfully replicated and can now be enjoyed in the clouds.

The American boutique coffee brand, Peet’s Coffee, was introduced as part of the ongoing enhancements to the in-flight experience. Cafe Domingo, a carefully formulated blend of three medium-roast coffee beans grown in Latin Africa, has a rich aroma and smooth texture that can be brewed and served fresh aboard the plane. Starting today, Business and Premium Economy travelers on all routes will be able to enjoy the reinvigorating fragrance of fresh coffee during the flight. From holiday desserts, local beverages, and popular crossovers to the indispensable daily cup of coffee, food and beverage services are being refined with careful attention to every detail. China Airlines strives to make every flight not only a journey to see the sights but an unforgettable memory in itself.
