UNI Airways (Chinese:立榮航空;pinyin:Lìróng Hángkōng;Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Lïp-êng Háng-khong) is a Taiwaneseregional airline based inZhongshan, Taipei, Taiwan.^[2][3] With an operation focus on domestic routes, UNI Air is a subsidiary ofEvergreen Group, making it a sister airline of themainline operatorEVA Air. It was known asMakung International Airlines (馬公航空) until 1996, when EVA Air took a majority share of the airline. In 1998, the airline merged withGreat China Airlines (大華航空) andTaiwan Airways (臺灣航空), which EVA Air also had interests in, to form UNI Airways (UNI Air).

UNI Air has operated two-class services, with domestic business- and economy-class seating. Business-class passengers have access to EVA Air's Evergreen Lounges. UNI Air's predecessor, Makung International Airlines, operated a fleet ofBAe 146 series jet aircraft. These aircraft were sold when UNI Air was formed. UNI Air'sIATA Code is B7, itsICAO code is UIA, and its callsign is Glory, in reference to its sister company Uniglory Shipping Corporation.^[4] In 2012, UNI Air unveiled a new livery and tail/logo on the MD-90, the Q300 and its newATR 72-600 aircraft.^{[citation needed]}

The airline has had the largest market share in the domesticTaiwan market in recent years, and has expanded to include international flights. A few of its formerMcDonnell Douglas MD-90 and currentATR 72 aircraft were repainted and flew for parent carrier EVA Air due to overcapacity. In recent years, UNI Air has launched services to international destinations from the southern Taiwanese port city of Kaohsiung. In 2007, the airline received permission to begin flights to Japan.^[5]

The airline operates mainly to domestic and China destinations and scheduled international flights to Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Seoul. Also chartered flights to Surabaya and Jeju from Kaohsiung. UNI Air's destinations are:^[6]

• On 24 August 1999,Flight 873, aMcDonnell Douglas MD-90, landed atHualien Airport and was rolling on Runway 21 when an explosion was heard in the front section of the passenger cabin, followed by smoke and fire. The pilot brought the aircraft to a stop on the runway and fire squads rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire. While the upper part of the fuselage was completely destroyed, 90 passengers plus the crew of 6 were safely evacuated. 14 passengers were seriously injured, and another 14 suffered minor injuries. Most of the injured passengers suffered burns. There was eventually one death due to fragments produced by the explosion striking 1 passenger.^[23]
• On 10 May 2021, Flight 9091, anATR 72-600, clipped its main landing gear and tail skid on the perimeter wall atNangan Airport after the pilots initiated a latego-around due to fog during a non-precision approach. The pilots returned toSongshan Airport, where they landed without injury, although the aircraft and runway were damaged. The cause was determined to be the pilot's loss of situational awareness during approach and not following procedure to immediately go around after losing sight of the runway.^[24]
