TransAsia Airways formed its low-cost airline subsidiary V Air on 15 November 2013. The name V Air is selected by the Taiwanese to symbolize Taiwan's young generation. The alphabet V can mean "Voyage", "Vision", "Vivid" or words that correspond to the young generation's characteristics while its logo shows the Formosa black bear, a beast with typical V-shape chest mark reflecting the traits of energy and curiosity that V Air and Taiwan share.


V Air has unveiled its flight crew uniform this month, opened an online inflight duty-free store in August and organized lucky draws to reward fans with free flight tickets. It plans to launch its first route between Taipei Taoyuan and Bangkok (which airport it will fly to is yet to be identified) by December 2014 with either an Airbus A321 or A320 aircraft inherited from TransAsia Airways.

V Air also has plans to launch flights from Taipei to Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Chiang Mai, Denpasar, Singapore, Kalibo, Cebu as well as to Seoul-Incheon, Jeju, Busan, Fukuoka, Nagoya and Tokyo.

V Air is using Avantik Passenger Service Solutions (PSS) of Bravo Passenger Solutions for bilingual internet sales, B2B modules, ancillary revenue tools, e-ticketing capabilities, dynamic reporting, departure control capability and airport check-in functionality.

V Air web-site is www.flyvair.com. Its headquarters is the former Head Office of TransAsia Airways located in Zhengzhou Road, Taipei.
