Zhai Jianhua pointed out that StarAir will continue to deepen its flight network layout in the future, taking advantage of Taiwan's geographical location as an Asian hub to provide passengers with more diverse destination choices.
The first flight event was held in the departure lounge of Taoyuan Airport. Starlux Airlines invited sports brand ambassadors to lead passengers on the first flight to perform yoga stretches, allowing passengers to stretch their muscles before boarding. It also echoes the tourism styles such as yoga and physical and mental healing that have become popular among tourists in Bali in recent years.
Ms. Cai, a passenger on the first flight, said that this time she made a special appointment with a few friends to travel to Bali, leaving her children and husband at home while she took the opportunity to go abroad for a vacation with her friends. She usually practices yoga and is happy to be able to participate in yoga activities before boarding the plane, especially since there are still 4 or 5 hours of flight time ahead. Stretching her body first will also allow her to board the plane more relaxedly.
StarLux Airlines has also prepared first-flight gift packs for passengers on the first flight, including sports bottles, Indonesian all-you-can-eat eSIM for 5 days, and shuttle bus-shaped three-dimensional iCASH, etc., and other cooperative brands provide related products.
The Taipei-Bali route currently flies five times a week, making it Starlux’s second Indonesian destination. After the first flight arrives in Bali, it will also fly to Ngurah Rai. Lai International Airport held a welcome and ribbon-cutting event. StarAir's current flight network covers Asia, North America and Europe, with a total of 34 city destinations.
