PHOENIX – STARLUX Airlines intends to begin new nonstop flights between Sky Harbor and Taipei’s Taoyuan Airport.
The service, pending final government approvals, would begin early next year, with three to four flights a week, according to a release.
“Phoenix’s first non-stop flight to Asia reflects the incredible strides we’ve made with our local economy and our emergence as an international city,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said.
“TSMC’s historic investment in Phoenix has brought thousands of high-wage jobs and boosted our reputation as a semiconductor hub, and now it’s helping increase air service demand.”
Service will begin with an A350-900 aircraft that has 306 seats. Tickets will go on sale once government approval is formalized, the release stated.
