Currently, Starlux Airlines' first A321neo, which first arrived in Taoyuan on 28 October 2019 from Hamburg via Dubai and Suvarnabhumi, is undergoing daily verification flights.
According to Starlux Airlines, its second A321neo jet is expected to arrive in Taoyuan in mid-to-late December 2019 while its third A321neo is expected to arrive in Taoyuan by the second week of January 2020.
All the above three A321neo jets will inaugurate respective routes from Taoyuan to Macau, Danang and Penang on 23 January 2020, the last second day of the traditional Chinese Year 2019 in the early morning.
According to Nie Guowei, the PR Manager of Starlux, the airline founder Zhang Guowei will not be free to pilot the first aircraft to one of the above destinations as he will be VIP host to the inaugural flight celebration ceremonies in Taoyuan for the three inaugural flights on 23 January. There will also be inaugural flight celebration ceremonies in the airports of Macau, Danang and Penang to welcome Starlux Airlines' respective flights on the same day.
According to Huo Jianhua, Starlux's CEO, Starlux Airlines will not offer any discount fares for its flights departing from 23 January 2020 to Macau, Danang and Penang till the end of the Chinese New Year as it is peak period for overseas travels. However, the sales team will consider introducing discounted fares online after the Chinese New Year season to compete with Tigerair Taiwan, EVA Air and other airlines.
Starlux Airlines will start selling tickets online at www.starlux-airlines.com during the Christmas season from the third week of December 2019 onwards after it has received its official Air Operator Certificate (AOC). Customers are not expected to walk-in to the airline's office in Taipei to purchase the tickets or look for its collectibles.
To cover the administrative costs of utilising and maintaining the aircraft and stimulate public support for the new airline image, Starlux Airlines has been selling Starlux souvenirs rather than giving them away free. An animated flight safety video of Starlux Airlines to be played inflight when the scheduled flights take off in 2020 has also gone viral on Facebook and YouTube although the airline has yet to receive its AOC.
