An airline must obtain IOSA certification before applying for IATA membership. That certification, established by IATA to evaluate an airline's operational management and control systems, was conducted earlier this year and Starlux successfully received certification in early November and officially became an IATA member on 4 December 2023.
Starlux Airlines became a member of IATA earlier this month
“Since our establishment, we have been driven by the global aspiration to become a boutique airline that excels in both flight safety and quality service,” said KW Chang, President of Starlux. “We adhere to international standards in safety management and operating procedures, striving to offer the most comfortable and safe journey to all passengers. Our official membership with IATA indicates that Starlux meets international standards related to operational criteria.”
Since its inaugural flight more than three years ago, Starlux has expanded its network to 20 major Asian cities and began transoceanic flights this year.
The Taiwan-based airline launched flights to Los Angeles in April and San Francisco earlier this month.
“We are delighted to welcome Starlux Airlines as a member of IATA, bringing the total number of IATA member airlines to more than 320,” said Dr. Xie Xingquan, IATA Regional Vice President for North Asia. “We look forward to supporting the continued development of Starlux Airlines through our services and various initiatives. At the same time, we welcome airlines to commit and participate in shaping the priorities of the aviation industry, including safety and sustainable development.”
