Starlux: Taiwanese Airline Company Plans to Launch Non-Stop Phoenix-Taipei Flights

Starlux Airlines is set to launch direct service from Phoenix Sky Harbor to Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport, located close to Taipei, beginning in February 2026.
The new route responds to increased travel demand driven by growth in Phoenix's semiconductor industry, anchored by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's investments in the region.
Subject to government approval and the commencement of ticket sales, flights are scheduled to begin in early 2026, operating three to four times per week using Airbus A350-900 aircraft configured with 306 seats.
Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego highlighted that the upcoming flight will mark the city’s inaugural direct air connection to Asia, emphasizing that travel between Phoenix and Taipei has grown fivefold over the past five years.
This nonstop flight will mark a milestone in Phoenix's international air connections and complement Starlux's existing routes to U.S. West coast cities, supporting continued economic and travel growth.
