Starlux Airlines is planning to open a base in Kaohsiung in the first quarter of 2027, extending its operational footprint beyond Taipei Taoyuan and Taichung. The southern Taiwan move would give the carrier a stronger presence in Kaohsiung, with the launch timing now aligned to early 2027.
The development follows earlier reporting on Starlux’s Kaohsiung expansion plans, but the latest coverage updates the schedule to 1Q27. No route list, fleet assignment or staffing plan has been disclosed in the available material, and it remains unclear whether Kaohsiung will start as a full operating base or a more limited station. Even so, the addition would fit Starlux’s wider network growth as it continues to build domestic and international capacity from Taiwan.
