New Taiwan airline StarLux to launch in early 2020
Taiwan based startup StarLux Airlines Co has unveiled its launch date and first destinations.
The full service carrier will finally take flight on January 23, 2020 and will, begin flying to Macau, Penang and Da Nang in Vietnam.
It launches just as the busy Lunar New Year holidays begin, and hopes to take advantage of the high travel demand.
StarLux spokesman Nieh Kuo-wei says it will operate daily frequencies on the routes and plans to expand across Southeast Asia and Northern Asia.
Ticket reservations will go live before the end of this year.
The airline was formally established last year by Chang Kuo-wei, former chairman of EVA Airways.
It has designs on North America and hopes to begin transpacific long haul flights there by 2022.
StarLux expects to receive the first of 10 leased A321neo jets by the end of October.
It has also ordered 17 Airbus A350s which will be deployed on its long haul routes.
