STARLUX’s A350 fleet will begin operations within the Asia-Pacific region before moving to trans-pacific routes.
“This delivery is a milestone for STARLUX Airlines. The A350-900 is our first large widebody aircraft, which will allow STARLUX to open markets for longer routes, and this also marks the next step for our partnership with Airbus, as there will be 17 more A350s deliveries in the future” said Glenn Chai, CEO of STARLUX Airlines.
Globally the A350 has registered a total of over 900 firm orders from over 50 customers, with close to 500 delivered.
