FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines and STARLUX Airlines have launched a
new codeshare partnership to enhance flight options between North America and
Taipei. Under the partnership, travelers can book select STARLUX-operated
flights between the Western U.S. and Taipei.
“Taipei remains a top destination for global business, visiting friends
and family and leisure travel, and together with STARLUX Airlines, we’re
partnering to provide new travel options,” said American’s Senior Vice
President of Alliances Anmol Bhargava. “This collaboration strengthens our
global network and unlocks new competitive itineraries. We look forward to
working with STARLUX on opportunities to make the journey even more rewarding
for customers.”
AAdvantage® members can earn miles and Loyalty Points when
booking an American codeshare flight operated by STARLUX. American and STARLUX
will work together on future opportunities including mileage redemption and
additional travel benefits.
“This codeshare marks an important milestone for STARLUX,” said STARLUX
Airlines CEO Glenn Chai. “American Airlines is an ideal partner, with a
network across North America that complements what we’ve built across Asia.
Together, we can provide our passengers with a more seamless and convenient
travel experience between two of the world’s most dynamic regions.”
Growing trans-Pacific access
Taipei is one of Asia’s must-visit cities. Famous for night markets that are
a foodie’s paradise, old-world charm with museums and temples and the buzz of a
cosmopolitan, modern city, Taipei captivates with experiences for every kind of
traveler. In addition, this partnership will also support growing trans-Pacific
business ties for major industries such as semiconductors.
American will place its code on STARLUX-operated flights to Taipei Taoyuan
International Airport (TPE) from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX),
Ontario International Airport (ONT), San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
American will also place its code on STARLUX-operated flights between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and TPE pending regulatory approvals.
The journey is just as important as the destination. As American continues
to elevate the travel experience with new onboard products and amenities
designed around customer comfort, it is also partnering with airlines that
offer unique and premium experiences. STARLUX Airlines offers customers a
unique experience that introduces travelers to the lively spirit and friendly
hospitality of Taipei from the moment they board the aircraft.
Under this partnership, customers will be able to tailor their itinerary
with Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy Class options on STARLUX
available for purchase on aa.com or American’s mobile app. STARLUX offers
customer-friendly amenities on board including lie-flat seats featuring a
privacy door in Business Class and a leg rest and retractable footrest in
Premium Economy, similar to American’s offerings on its new Boeing 787-9 and
retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
