On Wednesday (June 18, 2025), from the Paris Air Show 2025, Airbus announced that Taiwan-based STARLUX Airlines has signed a firm order for 10 additional Airbus A350-1000, bringing their current orderbook with Airbus to 30 aircraft, including A350F freighters.  Today’s agreement was signed at the Paris Air Show by STARLUX Airlines’ CEO Glenn Chai and Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus’ EVP Sales of Commercial Aircraft.  STARLUX operates an all-Airbus fleet of 28 aircraft, including A350-900s, A330neos and A321neos.


In Wednesday’s announcement, STARLUX Airline’s CEO, Glenn Chai, said,


“Expanding our international fleet with additional A350-1000s is a significant step toward reinforcing our global presence and enhancing connectivity across key markets.  This aircraft offers efficiency, range and comfort, making it the perfect fit for our strategy to optimise long-haul operations while delivering an exceptional passenger experience.  As we continue to strengthen our international network, the A350-1000 will play an important role in driving growth, sustainability and operational flexibility.” 


Also commenting on the new A350-1000 order, Airbus’ EVP Sales – Commercial Aircraft,  Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, said,


“STARLUX Airlines’ decision to add more A350-1000s to its growing fleet reaffirms the aircraft’s standing as the benchmark for long-haul operations.  With its advanced design and fuel-efficient performance, the A350-1000 Long Range Leader enables airlines to optimise routes while reducing environmental impact.  We are pleased to strengthen our long-standing partnership with STARLUX Airlines as they expand their global footprint and connect more destinations with efficiency and comfort.” 


Powered by the latest generation of Rolls-Royce engines, the Airbus A350 can fly nonstop up to 9,700 nautical miles (18,000 km), while using  25 percent less fuel than previous generation types and reduced carbon emissions.  Like all in-production Airbus aircraft, the A350 can currently operate on up to 50 percent SAF, with Airbus targeting 100 percent capability by 2030.  As of May 31, 2025, the A350 had won over 1,390 orders from 60 customers worldwide.
