StarFlyer will increase its Taipei service from three round trips a week to daily flights from Jan. 21 through Feb. 10. The airline resumed the route in September after a six-and-a-half-year suspension. Jin Air will double its Seoul service from one to two round trips daily between Feb. 1 and March 1.
