Starlux launches 5 weekly flights between Taiwan and Bali

Taipei, Oct. 1 (CNA) Starlux Airlines launched its new Taipei-Bali route Thursday, operating five weekly flights as it seeks to attract travelers from Europe and North America to Bali via Taiwan.

The new service operates on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, with flights departing Taipei at 10:10 a.m. and arriving in Bali at 3:40 p.m. Return flights leave Bali at 5:20 p.m. and arrive in Taipei at 10:50 p.m., using Airbus A321neo aircraft.

Starlux CEO Glenn Chai (翟健華) said convenient connections from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to Bali could help entice more European and North American travelers to transfer in Taiwan.

Bali is Starlux's second destination in Indonesia. It launched its Taipei-Jakarta route in September 2024, and currently operates four to five weekly flights on the route.

The airline's network now covers 34 cities in Asia, North America and Europe.
