SINGAPORE, 7 January 2026: Taiwan\u2019s Starlux Airlines has taken delivery of its first of 18 A350-1000s, becoming the 11th<\/sup> global operator of the largest version of the A350.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new A350-1000 will join a fleet of 10 A350-900s already in service, deployed on long-haul services from Taipei to Europe and North America, as well as selected destinations within the Asia-Pacific region. <\/p>\n\n\n

To mark the arrival of its newest fleet member, the airline has unveiled a new livery that reflects both innovation and identity. The design integrates the airline\u2019s signature visual elements with a carbon-fibre motif, representing the advanced composite materials integral to the aircraft\u2019s construction. The prominent \u20181000\u2019 emblazoned on the fuselage highlights the aircraft\u2019s designation as the largest in-production Airbus model, now serving as the airline\u2019s new flagship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starlux currently operates an all-Airbus fleet comprising the A321neo, the A330-900, and the A350-900 aircraft. The new A350-1000 will seamlessly complement the airline\u2019s existing fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A350\u2019s all-new design incorporates state-of-the-art technologies and aerodynamics, delivering unmatched operational efficiency and passenger comfort. Its new-generation engines and use of lightweight materials enable a 25% reduction in fuel burn, operating costs, and carbon dioxide (CO\u2082) emissions compared to previous-generation competitor aircraft. The A350 is equipped with a spacious cabin, wide seats, high ceilings and ambient lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A350 aircraft can operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Airbus aims to have its arcraft 100% SAF-capable by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
