On the heels of the recent inauguration of its fourth U.S. destination—Ontario, CA—Taiwan-based luxury carrier Starlux Airlines has announced nonstop service from Phoenix, Arizona to Taipei, beginning January 15, 2026. This marks Phoenix’s first nonstop connection to Asia, establishing a new transpacific link from the state of Arizona. Reservations for the new Phoenix–Taipei route are now open.
Fueled by strong tourism and business demand—including accelerated growth in Phoenix’s tech sector following TSMC’s landmark investment—Starlux is seizing this opportunity to expand its North American network and strengthen its hub network between Asia and North America. The Phoenix–Taipei route will be served by the new-generation Airbus A350, with three weekly flights at launch, increasing to four weekly flights starting March 2026.
