Starlux, Alaska Airlines add 12 U.S. gateways

Taipei, Sept. 30 (CNA) Starlux Airlines announced Tuesday that it has expanded its codeshare partnership with Alaska Airlines, adding 12 more U.S. destinations to bring the total to 20.

The agreement offers U.S. travelers streamlined booking, coordinated check-ins, and smoother transfers through Alaska Airlines' domestic network and Starlux's international gateways in San Francisco and Seattle, the carrier said in a statement.

The newly added codeshare cities are Newark (through San Francisco) and Minneapolis, Atlanta, Tampa, Anchorage, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Washington Dulles, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Spokane and Boise (through Seattle), it said.

When Starlux and Alaska first launched their partnership late last year, it covered eight American destinations: Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver and Austin.

"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," said Starlux CEO Glenn Chai (翟健華).

"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," said Alex Judson, managing director of Partnerships & International at Alaska Airlines.

Starlux currently serves 29 destinations, including a regional network in Asia and long-haul service to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Ontario, California.

The carrier also codeshares with American Airlines and will launch a Taipei-Phoenix route on Jan. 15, 2026, enabling passengers to connect across the U.S. through American's hub airport.
