"We look forward to inviting guests on board and delighting them with the premium experience and care that Alaska is known for across the industry.

STARLUX currently operates flights to 31 destinations, including three in the US – Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. The airline recently launched flights to Seattle on August 16.


According to STARLUX, the airline plans to increase flights to Los Angeles from daily to 10-times weekly from December 22. The Seattle-Taipei service will be increased from three-times weekly to daily from March 1, 2025.
