A major reason BNE has more Taiwan flights from broth BR and CI, is it's the city in AU/NZ that has the most ethnic Taiwanese living there. There is sections of Brisbane that are very much Taiwanese Precinct for shopping and cafes. Sydney and Melbourne, bigger cities but less resident Taiwanese. That said we have an office in Melbourne and is 3rd home (5 weeks a year) and wish BR will serve MEL when they get 787's? CI does have service from MEL on A350's.
