The Taiwan-based luxury carrier, STARLUX Airlines, unveiled the next phase of their ongoing codeshare partnership with Alaska Airlines. The company announced that it would be adding 12 new US cities to their codeshare network, thereby linking their 20 growing North American destinations to Taipei via direct flights.
North America and Asia, Better Connected
Under this new expanded codeshare arrangement, STARLUX will link Alaska operated flights to 12 cities through San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport (TPE).
The new cities include Minneapolis, Atlanta, Tampa, Anchorage, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Washington Dulles, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Spokane and Boise, will be linked to STARLUX flights from Seattle, while Newark is linked to San Francisco for onward STARLUX flights to Asia.
These cities join the original 8 STARLUX-Alaska codeshare cities, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, and Austin, which have been operating since the end of 2024.
A launchpad for Asian travel
With STARLUX and Alaska Airlines’ expanded partnership, travelers can enjoy easy access to STARLUX’s premium service and growing Asia network, making Taipei a launchpad for travel across the region.
STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai said:
“Alaska Airlines has always been an important partner for STARLUX, this new chapter in our partnership not only strengthens our North American network, but also gives travelers more flexibility and efficiency when flying to Taipei and beyond. COSMILE members can now even redeem mileage on Alaska flights—making every journey smoother, smarter, and more rewarding.”
Alex Judson, Managing Director of Partnerships & International at Alaska Airlines, also stated:
“We’re excited to expand our collaboration with STARLUX to connect even more of our network to its long-haul service from Taipei. With seamless access through Seattle and San Francisco, this next phase strengthens our shared commitment to offering travelers more choice, convenience, and premium service across the Pacific.”
What’s next for STARLUX?
STARLUX currently operates 33 routes to 29 destinations, including US, Japan, Macau, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore. As STARLUX continues to grow its route network, it remains committed to leveraging strategic partnerships to enhance global competitiveness and deliver a seamless travel experience across North America.
