(Adds comment from Taiwan's main international airport in
paragraph 3)
       TAIPEI, July 19 (Reuters) - Taiwan's two major airlines,
China Airlines  2610.TW  and Eva Air  2618.TW , said on Friday
they were generally unaffected by a global tech outage.
    Eva Air told Reuters all systems were operating as normal,
while China Airlines said airport check-in and boarding systems
were also as normal, but that there were some problems with
reservation services.
    Taiwan's main international airport at Taoyuan said some
airlines were having to check people in manually due to computer
problems, including Air Asia, Scoot, Tigerair Taiwan, Jetstar
and HK Express.
