On the heels of the announcement of its new nonstop flights from Phoenix to Taipei, STARLUX Airlines announced a new a partnership with American Airlines. With this new partnership, passengers on both airlines will have convenient access to more routes connecting North America and Taipei.
The new Interline Partnership with American creates enhanced convenience for travelers, offering single-ticket booking and through-checked luggage between American’s extensive North American network and STARLUX’s transpacific and Asian routes. Passengers can easily connect to Taipei from numerous American cities including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Charlotte, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, Mexico City and more.
“We are very honoured to have the partnership with American Airlines — one of the United States top airlines,” said STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai. “The partnership will greatly expand STARLUX’s reach into the U.S., with customers accessing American’s vast North American network. It will also increase travel choices for American Airlines customers looking to travel to Taipei.”
“American is delighted to offer more travel options for customers with STARLUX,” said Anmol Bhargava, American’s Senior Vice President of Alliances. “Through this interline partnership, customers can enjoy convenient connections from Taipei to more than 250 destinations in North America. We look forward to working with STARLUX to enhance opportunities for American’s customers to travel from North America to Taipei.”
With the launch of STARLUX Airlines’ Taipei–Phoenix route, the networks of both airlines will become even more connected.
