Transit passengers in Asia will be a key target for StarLux Airlines, established last week, in the initial stages of its operation, as well as high-end travelers, chairman Chang Kuo-wei says.

“The Taiwanese market itself is too small, so we need to focus on the transit sector to play big,” says Chang, speaking in Taipei. He is a former EVA Airways chairman.

There is still room for growth in the transit market, says StarLux president Glenn Chai, adding that the Asia-Pacific region will play a bigger role in the global aviation market in the coming years.

StarLux says it will initially operate 10 Airbus A321neo narrow-body aircraft on lease, with the first to be delivered in October 2019.    [FULL  STORY]
