Starlux Airlines officially took delivery of its first Airbus A350-1000, registration B-58553, featuring the AIRSORAYAMA Silver livery by Hajime Sorayama, at the Airbus Delivery Center in Toulouse on 3 July 2026. Chairman Chang Kuo-Wei personally piloted the ferry flight to Taoyuan Airport, marking Taiwan’s entry into the A350-1000 operator cohort. This aircraft, the first of two AIRSORAYAMA units with liquid-metal silver and gold finishes, will enter commercial service in Q3 2026, initially serving Prague in August 2026, followed by Sydney and Tokyo Haneda. The delivery fulfills a historic collaboration announced in January 2026 and expands Starlux’s widebody fleet for long-haul expansion across Europe and Oceania.
