CAF Asie historical fleet, 1994-2007
2x Airbus A340-200
2x Boeing 747-400M
4x Beoing 747-200F
In light of the dispited geopolitical status of the Republic of China (Taiwan), flag carriers based in countries with established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China could not operate flights to the island under their own names. CAF was no exception, and for a brief period in 1993 the airline operated flights from Paris (CDG) to Taipei via Hong Kong through its charter subsidiary Transeuro (now Transavia France). CAF's intrerest in upgrading its France-Taiwan services to regularly scheduled operations led to the establishment of CAF Asie that same year, with service commencing in 1994. The airline began operations with a pair of Boeing 747-400 Combis acquired from CAF, which in later years would be succeeded by smaller Airbus A340-200s that also operated for its parent.
After CAF's merger with KLM in 2004, CAF Asie ceased passenger flights to Taiwan, though cargo service to the island would continue for a few more years. Improving relations between France, Mainland China, and Taiwan meant CAF Asie's continued existence was no longer warranted, and in 2007 the brand was fully merged into CAF's mainline cargo operations.
the Asie titles on the 747 look weirdly placed
Moved the title slightly to the left. Better?
i think they could all be a tad smaller

I think he means they should be moved up, which they should.
Would you recommend they also be a bit smaller as Boing suggested?I think he means they should be moved up, which they should.

That's your call, mate - Try it, and see what it looks like, and if you like it, keep it.

Moved the titles upward but kept their sizes as is. Also did the same for the 747s on the earlier 1982-1993 fleet poster in this album.
I think I like the titles just where you've got them now on the 74
“ CAF's merger with KLM…?”
The equivalent of Air France's merger with KLM, since this airline basically is Air France with a different name and livery...
