Taipei, Dec. 31 (CNA) Taiwan-based carrier Starlux Airlines announced Wednesday that it will begin nonstop flights between Taichung and Tokyo, Japan, starting March 30, 2026.

The new route will be operated using Airbus A321 aircraft, with four weekly flights at launch. It will also make Starlux the only airline offering regular, direct flights between the central Taiwan city and the Japanese capital, the airline said in a press release.

Starlux, which commenced operations in 2020, becoming Taiwan's newest airline, currently offers flights from Taichung to Kobe, Okinawa, Takamatsu, Macau, Da Nang and Phu Quoc.

It also plans to launch a service from Taichung to the Miyako Islands (located between Okinawa Island and Taiwan) on Feb. 13, the airline said.
