I've written about Starlux Airlines, a promising new airline that will be launching in early 2020. The airline will be based out of Taipei and will initially operate flights within Asia, before eventually launching long haul flights. While China Airlines and EVA Air are already excellent, Starlux Airlines is going even more upmarket, hoping to…

It is very cute... but I don't understand why Asian airlines always put white people as their stock passengers. Is the only two-eyed passenger a blonde white man? (Besides maybe the Frozen copyright infringement?).
Haha 😛
@ Lucky,
Any reason I can no longer click on the icon stating how many comments an article has received and be directly linked to the comments section? I really miss not always having to scroll through the entire article to get to the comments section
Not bad. I would suggest they use a different, more readable, font for the English subtitles.
Im getting obsessed with this airline and they aren't even flying yet! The seats, the uniforms, the livery, the video etc just gets me so excited.
actually the ceo had went to Germany to pick up & flew the a321 back to Taipei: https://youtu.be/R5-32VLhJe4
you can see the cabin and crew in uniform in the video.
yes the fatso (by Taiwanese standard) with a pair of glasses is the guy. In his words they strive to make Statlux the best of Taiwan. Considering the other 2 (CI & BR) it's worth looking forward to.
@wpcoe
As a Chinese speaker, I also don't think the Chinese font is particularly readable either.
They've even had an album cut by a notable smooth jazz artist:

Did they hire Disney or Pixar to make this?
The character design seems so familiar.
Hoping to fly them in February. If they ever publish a schedule. Email to them went unanswered.
Wow - a bitch-slap and fat shaming in a safety video. No US airline would ever get away with it in our cancel culture nonsense era.
Am I only the one that finds this all very stupid, childish and confusing! Trying to follow and understand the main safety issues, through all this annoying nonsense is difficult. Worse is that awful cartoon soundtrack. Not classy but crass....and totally going against the whole ethos and image of an airline that calls itself StarLux. (Even the CGI was not that great.)
Safety first. Thank you for your superior and fun to view animated safety video.
Excellent. Love animated safety videos. Also love United’s Spider-Man and Star Wars.
Fun video.
Lots of copyrighted 'inspiration'?
Frozen
Wall-E
Monster Inc.
Tango
The Incredibles
Minions.
Inside Out.
etc.
Would have been nice if Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks actually made something like this.
@Shannon. Yes. Sadly, I am toooo old. I remember the days of flying; the comfortable wicker chairs, stewards wearing starched white uniforms and the vomit bucket. LOL. LOL.
They just launched a beautiful new video showing their A321Neo interiors:
