Airline Executives Quit Due to Crash: The chairman and president of Taiwan’s China Airlines resigned amid the continuing furor over the April crash of a CAL flight in Japan that killed 264 people. Liu Teh-min, CAL’s chairman, said he and company President Yuan Hsing-yuan had requested to resign. The airline said it named as chairman Chiang Hung-i, president of Taiwan’s domestic Far East Air Transport Corp. Fu Chun-fan, chief of CAL’s general audit and inspection office, was appointed president. The resignations are the culmination of an uproar in Taiwan over the accident in Nagoya, Japan, in which a CAL Airbus A300-600R crashed while attempting to abort a landing.
