Taiwan China Airlines strike leaves 20,000 without flights

The airline was forced to cancel all flights out of the two main airports in the capital Taipei, with the only exception a chartered service for President Tsai Ing-wen who left for a state visit to Panama and Paraguay Friday morning.

Crowds of passengers queued up at CAL counters in Taipei’s Songshan and Taoyuan airports Friday morning as the airline tried to get them onto different flights.
