China Airlines to start Taipei to London Gatwick Airport on 01 December 2017 with AIRBUS A359 aircraft.
Good coup for LGW as slots were unavailable at LHR, the Far East network from the airport is really growing now.
Cathay Pacific
Hong Kong
China Airlines
Taipei (begins 01 December 2017)
Tianjin Airlines
Chongqing, Tainjin, Xi'an (begins 20 June 2017),
And recently announced but uncomfirmed return of
Air Asia X

I wonder if the next airline from the region could be SCOOT.
Yes, doubtless
some of these carriers are in the LGW "waiting room".
