Starlux Airlines Expands U.S. Network with Alaska, AA Deals

Taiwan-based Starlux Airlines is strengthening its presence in the United States through two key partnerships aimed at expanding connectivity between North America and Asia. The carrier has broadened its codeshare agreement with Alaska Airlines to include 12 additional U.S. destinations, bringing the total to 20 cities now linked to Taipei via Starlux’s gateways in San Francisco and Seattle.

The expanded codeshare allows travelers to enjoy seamless one-stop itineraries between Taipei and major U.S. cities such as Denver, Orlando, Nashville, and Washington, D.C., with coordinated schedules and single-ticket convenience. This move significantly enhances Starlux’s access across the U.S. domestic market and strengthens its growing transpacific network.

In addition to its expanded partnership with Alaska Airlines, Starlux recently entered a new commercial agreement with American Airlines, creating further opportunities for passengers traveling between Asia and North America. The collaboration includes interline connectivity, reciprocal loyalty benefits, and coordinated flight options to streamline travel between Taipei and key American gateways.

Starlux Airlines, which launched its first U.S. route in 2023, has quickly positioned itself as a rising competitor in the premium transpacific market. The airline currently operates long-haul flights from Taipei to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle using its state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 fleet, renowned for luxury interiors and cutting-edge amenities.

The partnerships with Alaska and American underscore Starlux’s strategic focus on expanding its North American footprint while offering passengers more convenient travel options. By connecting Taipei to a broader network of U.S. cities, Starlux aims to become a preferred choice for travelers seeking premium comfort, efficient connections, and modern service on Asia–U.S. routes.
