Star Airways Launches First Route to South Korea with Busan Service

Star Airways celebrated the launch of its inaugural flight to South Korea, with the first service connecting Taipei to Busan. The airline marked the occasion with a special ceremony at Taoyuan International Airport's Terminal 1.

To commemorate the new route, Star Airways invited popular Fubon Angels members, Korean nationals Nam Min-jeong and Lee Ho-jeong, to serve as ambassadors for the Busan line. They participated in the launch event, shared their travel experiences in Busan, and bid farewell to the flight crew and passengers on the tarmac.

Liu Yun-fu, Star Airways' Chief Strategy Officer, stated that the Busan route is crucial for strengthening the airline's presence in the Northeast Asia market. The Taipei-Busan route will operate daily, while a new Taichung-Busan service will run three times a week, offering more convenient travel options for passengers in central and southern Taiwan.

Liu also outlined the airline's ambitious expansion plans. Star Airways currently serves 32 cities across 41 routes in Asia and North America. The airline intends to launch its first European route to Prague in August, followed by a service to Bali in October, further extending its global network.

The opening of the Busan route not only strengthens Star Airways' layout in the Northeast Asia market, but also provides more convenient travel options for passengers in central and southern Taiwan through direct flights from Taipei and Taichung.
