Starlux Airlines is set to welcome its second A350-1000 art aircraft, dubbed "AIR SORAYAMA GOLD," which is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan soon. This distinctive aircraft is the result of a collaboration with renowned Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama, known for his futuristic and "sexy robot" aesthetic.

The newly delivered A350-1000, bearing the registration B-58554, officially completed its handover in France on August 14th. It departed from Toulouse on "AIR SORAYAMA GOLD" livery, featuring a striking gold finish that reflects Sorayama's signature metallic and mechanical art style. This follows the successful introduction of the first A350-1000 art plane, "AIR SORAYAMA SILVER," which already operates with the airline.

The "AIR SORAYAMA SILVER" aircraft showcased a high-concentration special mica coating technique to perfectly capture Sorayama's signature cool liquid metal and futuristic mechanical aesthetics. The "AIR SORAYAMA GOLD" continues this artistic theme with its golden exterior, further enhancing the airline's unique brand image.

The flagship aircraft is expected to land at Taoyuan International Airport on August 16th, at 9:28 AM, officially joining the Starlux Airlines fleet. The arrival of "AIR SORAYAMA GOLD" signifies the airline's commitment to blending aviation with contemporary art, offering passengers a visually striking travel experience.
