China and Taiwan have agreed a deal to allow regular direct passenger flights between the two territories during holiday periods, Taiwan has said.
They also agreed to a case-by-case deal for air cargo, officials said.
Direct air links between the two rivals were broken in 1949 when nationalist forces fled from the mainland to Taiwan after losing China's civil war.
Taipei and Beijing have run limited non-stop charter flights in recent years during the Lunar New Year.
