Starlux Airlines' highly anticipated "Sorayama Silver" art aircraft made its debut in Taiwan, landing at Taoyuan International Airport on July 5, 2026. The striking A350-1000, featuring a futuristic design by renowned Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama, was personally piloted back to Taiwan by Starlux Chairman Chang Kuo-wei.
The "Sorayama Silver" is the first of two special livery aircraft created in collaboration with Sorayama, a pioneer of hyperrealist robotic aesthetics. The "Sorayama Gold" is expected to follow. The project, a culmination of three years of meticulous planning and execution, involved close collaboration with Airbus and Mankiewicz, aiming to deliver a unique visual experience for passengers.
