Starlux Airlines will operate 15 United States long-haul flights beginning in 2022. Taipei’s Starlux has applied 15 flight routes for the United States scheduled to operate in 2022. Starlux President Glenn Chai reported that Taipei CAA has been able to confirm the flight routes. The airline expects to launch these flights with Airbus A350s in June 2022.
The list contains Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Jose, Ontario, New York, Newark, Washington D.C, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Honolulu, Boston, and Guam.
The airline wanted to submit early for other CAA processes since the applications must be accepted before the flights begin. That way, preparations can start immediately once they are authorized, Chai said.
