This is the story of K.W. Chang, the betrayed son of EVA Air's founder, the family coup that fired him mid-flight, and how his impossible airline rewrote the rules that Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and EVA Air thought they owned. From the family Shakespearean drama, to launching in the worst possible year, to the new Phoenix and Prague semiconductor corridor. Here's how Starlux became one of the most luxurious carriers on the planet.
In 2020, while every airline on Earth was grounded, one fired CEO did the unthinkable. He launched Starlux Airlines from a tiny island of 23 million people and just 5 years later, his all-Airbus A350 and A330neo fleet earned the fastest 5-Star rating in aviation history.
