In September last year, boutique Taiwanese startup airline Starlux launched its first non-stop flights from Singapore Changi Airport, with a three times weekly service linking to its Taipei hub, using its new Airbus A321neo jets.
One of the most interesting things about the new airline was its flat-bed seats in Business Class on an initial tranche of these narrow-body aircraft, designed for intra-Asia regional hops.
Since then, however, Starlux has taken delivery of its first pair of eight wide-body Airbus A330neo aircraft, which have an even better Business Class product installed, even though they are also designed to serve intra-Asia routes.
Singapore gets the Starlux A330neo
The good news is that Singapore will be the airline’s next city to be served by the A330neo jets, with the three existing weekly flights upgrading to wide-body comfort in both cabins, plus there will be four additional weekly services using the A321neo, for daily service overall.
