KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 7 (Bernama) — Taiwan-based luxury carrier, STARLUX Airlines marked a major transcontinental milestone with the delivery of its first Airbus A350-1000 wide-body aircraft, becoming the first Taiwanese airline to operate the aircraft type.
The aircraft, registration B-58551, was officially handed over at Airbus’s Toulouse headquarters and flown nonstop to Taipei by STARLUX Chairman K.W. Chang. Upon arrival at Taoyuan International Airport, the aircraft was greeted with a ceremonial water salute.
STARLUX Chief Executive Officer, Glenn Chai said the delivery of the first A350-1000 marked a new era in the airline’s long-haul capabilities, as the aircraft can reach the United States (US) East Coast while delivering exceptional fuel efficiency and superior passenger comfort.
“This allows us to extend our signature service from Taipei to even more destinations across North America and Europe,” he said in a statement.
The aircraft introduces a refreshed STARLUX livery inspired by its extensive use of advanced composite materials, with more than 50 per cent of the airframe built from carbon-fibre-reinforced composites. A bold “1000” marking along the fuselage highlights its status as the largest A350 variant and the airline’s new long-haul flagship.
Configured with four cabin classes – First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy – the A350-1000 offers 350 seats designed for long-distance comfort. Its range of up to 9,700 miles (15,600 kilometres) will support STARLUX’s expansion into North American and European markets.
Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, the aircraft delivers a 25 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency and carbon emissions compared with previous-generation planes, while providing one of the quietest and most spacious cabins in its class.
With this delivery, STARLUX enters the next phase of long-haul expansion, planning to launch its initial European routes in the second half of 2026, with additional aircraft deliveries enabling future services to the US East Coast.
