Taiwan-based luxury airline STARLUX Airlines has announced new expansion into the North American market and its fourth US destination with new nonstop flights connecting Ontario, California, to Taipei, Taiwan. The Ontario-Taipei route, which will operate four times weekly, and is set to commence on June 2, 2025. The Ontario-Taipei service will utilize the state-of-the-art Airbus A350, which boasts a total capacity of 306 seats, comprising 4 in first class, 26 in business class, 36 in premium economy, and 240 in economy.

The inclusion of Ontario in STARLUX’s US network, which already encompasses Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, highlights the airline’s ambitious expansion plans for North America. Ontario International Airport, strategically positioned near vibrant Asian communities in Southern California, provides passengers with efficient customs processing, easy access, spacious terminals, and round-the-clock operations.
The initial flight schedule will feature four weekly services, as detailed below:

JX009 | Ontario – Taipei | Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat | 23:10 | 04:15 + 2 |
“Ontario, STARLUX’s first North American destination this year, broadens our market reach and strengthens our position as a premium carrier enhancing connectivity between key US cities, Taiwan, and Asia Pacific,” said STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai.
“Serving both Ontario and LAX offers travelers greater flexibility and convenience while supporting economic growth, fostering familial ties, and boosting tourism between North America and Asia. This expansion aligns with our vision to become a global aviation leader, setting new service standards and positioning STARLUX for future growth in the international market.”
STARLUX Airlines presently offers 10 weekly flights connecting Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Taipei, alongside daily services from San Francisco to Taipei. Beginning on March 1, the airline will also expand its operations to include daily flights from Seattle. The STARLUX fleet has grown to encompass 26 aircraft, which includes 13 A321neo, 5 A330neo, and 8 A350, bolstered by the recent incorporation of two additional A350s.
