STARLUX makes its first flight to United States

First route is from Taipei to LAX

STARLUX Airlines made its first flight to the United States on 26 April.

The flight from Taipei to Los Angles was made with an Airbus A350-900 and was captained by the airline’s CEO, Chang Kuo-wei.

The almost 12 hour flight was also STARLUX’s first across the Pacific.
