STARLUX Airlines celebrated a significant milestone with the inauguration of its daily service between Taipei and Clark, the airline's third destination in the Philippines. Now North American travelers can easily fly from Los Angeles to Clark - the gateway to northern Philippines and island tourist destinations - via Taipei. STARLUX currently serves the Philippines with flights to both Manila and Cebu.

The inaugural flight, JX790, took off from Clark International Airport at 10:45 am local time. The flight was conducted by an opening ceremony that included a ribbon cutting, cake cutting and cultural dance performance. Participating officials and executives included: Mr. Glenn Chai, STARLUX CEO.

Mr. Bingcang, President & CEO of Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA). Mr. Daenos, Regional Director of Department of Tourism (DOT). Ms. Devanadera, resident of Clark Development Corporation (CDC).

Mr. Manankil, President of Luzon International Premier Airport Development (LIPAD). Mr. Chow, Officer Representative of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Philippines (TECO). In addition to offering greater convenience, STARLUX's premium in-flight service will attract more business travelers seeking luxury and comfort.

In 2022, the United States was the biggest market of international travelers traveling to the Philippines (source Statisica). Today, there are more than four million Filipinos in the U.S., its third largest Asian group (source U.S. Census). Many Filipino Americans maintain strong family and business ties to the Philippines and travel often to maintain these ties.

STARLUX is serving the route with its next-generation Airbus A321neo aircraft configured in a two-class layout, with eight seats in Business Class and 180 in Economy Class.
