Taiwan based carrier STARLUX Airlines has launched a codeshare partnership with Alaska Airlines. This is the first codeshare partnership for STARLUX and will aim to enhance the airlines network within North America.
“We are thrilled to unveil our inaugural codeshare flights in collaboration with Alaska Airlines, marking a pivotal expansion of our North American network,” said Glenn Chai, CEO of STARLUX Airlines.
Chai added: “This codeshare makes it easier for passengers to book connecting flights and travel seamlessly between these destinations using both airlines. STARLUX will continue to forge strategic partnerships with airlines to further expand our passenger networks, fostering mutual growth and success for all involved.”
The codeshare flights initially cover eight domestic routes including Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, and Austin--all to Seattle - operated by Alaska Airlines.
Commenting on the codeshare agreement, Brett Catlin, vice president of loyalty, alliances and sales at Alaska Airlines said: "We're proud to be STARLUX's first airline partner and excited about this next chapter in our ongoing cooperation," said Brett Catlin, vice president of loyalty, alliances and sales at Alaska Airlines. We look forward to inviting guests on board and delighting them with the premium experience and care that Alaska is known for across the industry."
The airline currently operates direct services from Taipei to Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
