TransAsia Airways is forced to suspend its Singapore scheduled route from 26 September 2013 due to operation reasons and bankruptcies of three foreign airlines.
From 23 September 2013, TransAsia Airways' Airbus A320 aircraft, which currently operates on the Taipei Taoyuan-Singapore-Taipei Taoyuan routes, will fly on a scheduled basis between Taipei Taoyuan and Siem Reap to replace Wat Phnom Airlines, that has failed to launch scheduled flights between Siem Reap and Taipei Taoyuan.
Wat Phnom Airlines is the new name of a new Phnom Penh-based airline taking over the defunct TonleSap Airlines, a Cambodian charter airline.
TonleSap Airlines and its Palau airline subsidiary, Palau Airways, owe Taipei Taoyuan International Airport aircraft landing fees and were forced to cancel flights without prior notice to travel agents and tourists. The Cambodian and Taiwanese civil aviation authorities have so far refused to let Wat Phnom Airlines launch flights between Siem Reap and Taiwan as the management of Wat Phnom Airlines is the same as the management of TonleSap Airlines and Palau Airways under the leadership of Singaporean entrepreneur Teo Yong-Hwee that owes Taiwan their aircraft landing fees.
TransAsia Airways earlier turned its Palau charter flight route into a scheduled route in June 2013, hence replacing Palau Airways whose flight cancellations have left passengers stranded in Taipei and Koror, the capital of Pacific country Palau.
From 26 September 2013, TransAsia's Airbus A330 aircraft which also currently operates on its Singapore route will be deployed on the new scheduled Taipei Taoyuan-Tokyo Narita-Taipei Taoyuan routes on a daily basis to cater to another rising Taiwanese-Japanese travel market demand.
TransAsia Airways did not state when it will resume scheduled flights to Singapore from Taipei Taoyuan despite a higher demand for Taipei flights in the Singapore outbound tour market. However, it says that Singapore will remain as one of its charter flight destinations.
