DALLAS — Taiwan’s STARLUX Airlines (JX) seeks to obtain oneworld Alliance membership in 2025.
The Taipei-based (TPE) carrier has said it will apply for membership by the end of next year. If it is successful in doing so, this will be the alliance’s first entry into Taiwan.
Expanding the STARLUX Experience
The move is part of JX’s broader strategy to enhance efficiency and expand its presence in the international market. The airline currently operates flights primarily within Asia. JX CEO Chai Chien-Hua said joining the alliance would allow JX to collaborate with member carriers on flight schedules, transits, and frequent flyer programs.
The oneworld Alliance currently has 15 major airlines, including American Airlines (AA), British Airways (BA), Cathay Pacific (CX), Qantas (QF), and Qatar Airways (QR), amongst others. Combined, these airlines serve over 900 destinations globally.
In June, Fiji Airways became a full member of the oneworld Alliance, after having been a One World Connect partner since 2018.
