DALLAS — Last week, STARLUX Airlines (JX) launched Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) flights, pushing TPE-SEA to 27 flights a week and making this route the most seats per destination for a week from Seattle.
Delta Air Lines (DL) and China Airlines (CI) both launched this route over the summer, meanwhile pushing EVA Air (BR) to ten flights a week, which has been serving this route for years.
