The Branch was formally formed on August 19.

After Taiwan Branch opened, Shenzhen Airlines immediately exerted its characteristic of being good at innovation, announcing the promotion of a year round ticket priced at RMB17, 700 Yuan for the flights between Shenzhen and Taiwan for the whole year, which was unprecedented in the history of airlines.

According to the introduction of Shenzhen Airlines, the first batch of the “year-round tickets” was targeting at the members of Taiwan Merchant Association Shenzhen for the flights from Shenzhen to Taipei, which was applicable from September 2, 2009 to August 31, 2010. The eligible Taiwan businessmen could buy the tickets from each branch of Shenzhen Airlines in Taipei with their Taiwan Compatriot Travel Certificates.

According to the report, the beautiful scenic spot of Mt. Ali had been hit hard by the water problems caused by Typhoon “Morakot”. After the Taiwan Branch of Shenzhen Airlines opened, it immediately announced the donation of 10 million new Taiwan Dollars to help rebuild this area.
