Starlux Airlines will soon announce new US destinations

Starlux Airlines is rapidly expanding its global network with new aircraft deliveries and route developments. The carrier’s ambitious growth plan includes completing its first phase of 48 passenger aircraft by 2027 and adding 10 cargo aircraft by 2029. Chief Strategy Officer Liu Yunfu revealed plans with ET Today to increase Southeast Asian connectivity, launch Bali service next year, and add Ontario International Airport (ONT) to North American destinations in June. New US routes are expected to be announced by Q1 2025, with European service still on track for 2026. Starlux Airlines is implementing a significant fleet expansion plan that will position it as a major player in global aviation. According to Liu Yunfu, the airline has already received all 10 of its Airbus A350-900 aircraft. While three A350-1000s were originally scheduled for delivery this year, supply chain issues have resulted in delays, with only one arriving in 2024, five in 2025, and the final two in 2027. The carrier currently operates five A330s with two more scheduled for delivery this year and four additional deliveries planned. Its narrow-body fleet consists of 13 A321s with six more on order, bringing the total passenger fleet to 48 aircraft by 2027.<br/>
