Companies with a major China Airlines Group stake include : Between 1994 and 2002 , China Airlines suffered four fatal accidents , three of which each resulted in more than 200 deaths . The accidents contributed to the airline having a poor reputation for safety , partly blamed on an air force-influenced pilot culture . Since then , the airline 's safety record has seen an improvement . In 2007 , in an article published after the explosion of Flight 120 , '' The Wall Street Journal '' quoted analysts as saying the airline has had " a marked improvement in safety and operational performance since 2002 " , with the mid-air disintegration of Flight 611 being " a catalyst for an overhaul " in its safety practices
