STARLUX Airlines Adds Taipei to Ontario Nonstop Flights to Its US-Taiwan Network

The growing ties between the United States and East Asia are steadily weaving a rich and diverse tapestry, opening new avenues for both tourism and economic investment. This dynamic expansion has seen an increasing demand for seamless travel connections. In this context, STARLUX Airlines has launched a daily nonstop flight from Taipei to Ontario, California. Starting from 2 June 2025, Ontario is STARLUX Airlines’ third destination in California and sixth gateway in the US.

International aviation analysts have concerns about the profitability of adding Ontario International Airport to STARLUX’s US network. Nonstop flights to Ontario in the Greater Los Angeles Area provide travelers a convenient alternative to the often-congested Los Angeles International Airport. Furthermore, Ontario International Airport (ONT) carries considerable strategic weight, particularly given California is home to one of the largest and most diverse Asian-American community in the Greater Los Angeles area.

More than just an 11.5-hour long-haul flight, STARLUX Airlines’ Taipei-Ontario service acts as a vital link to the airline’s extensive network of over 27 destinations on 32 routes across Asia through its hub, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. Passengers can now fly between ONT and TPE on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with STARLUX’s next-gen Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

This is somewhat good for Filipinos in Southern California, and Americans traveling to Hong Kong, Thailand, and Singapore via Taipei. They can now travel on one-stop flights from Ontario to Manila, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore via Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, with cheap flight tickets from iEagle.com, the most trusted air-ticketing partner of Americans and Asian immigrant communities in the US.

Taipei-Ontario is the only route where STARLUX Airlines has no competition from other Taiwanese airlines – EVA Air and China Airlines – which also operate to Los Angeles and San Francisco. STARLUX Airlines’ new service combined with its existing daily flights to Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO) significantly enhances travel flexibility and convenience for passengers flying into and out of California.

This expansion significantly underscores STARLUX Airlines’ ambition to elevate trans-Pacific connectivity with its signature premium service. With expansive future plans already in motion, including additional U.S. destinations like Phoenix, Arizona slated for early 2026, STARLUX is rapidly growing as a leading international luxury carrier for US-bound travelers from Taiwan, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
