This important move is great news for passengers and aviation enthusiasts, as it is a new-generation wide-body aircraft, equipped with advanced systems, a spacious cabin, and high operational efficiency.
Four service departments
The A350-1000 aircraft that will be operated on the route will offer four classes of service:
-4 seats in first class
-40 seats in business class
-36 seats in Premium Economy class
-270 seats in economy class
The company noted that operating the larger aircraft reflects confidence in demand for the new route and the desire to offer the highest level of flight experience between Europe and Asia.
Starlux Airline is coming to Europe. Photo: ShutterstockSTARLUX Airlines is a relatively young Taiwanese airline, founded in 2018 by Taiwanese aviation magnate K.W. Chang, former chairman of EVA Air.
Despite its young age, the company has established a reputation as a prestigious premium carrier in just a few years, with an emphasis on personal service, meticulous design, advanced seats, and a high-level passenger experience across all flight classes.
Its main base is at Taoyuan Airport in Taipei, from where it operates flights to destinations throughout Asia, North America and now also to Europe. Its fleet of aircraft consists entirely of modern Airbus aircraft, including the A321neo, A330neo, A350-900 and A350-1000.
Prague emphasizes that this is another significant milestone for the local airport. STARLUX will be the first airline to regularly operate the Airbus A350-1000 aircraft to the Czech capital.
The new line is expected to strengthen business, tourism and economic ties between Taiwan and the Czech Republic, while at the same time opening up convenient connection options for passengers from Europe to many destinations throughout Asia through the company's operations center in Taipei.
For STARLUX, this is another step in its global expansion strategy, as it continues to expand its destination network and compete with the major players in the international aviation industry through a premium product and high-level service.
