“Given the current passenger demand, we’re excited to increase the frequency of our SFO-TPE route, solidifying our commitment to continued expansion in the US market. Daily service, which starts March 20, will allow passengers to travel comfortably and conveniently to and from major cities in North America and Asia, with an easy transfer in Taipei,” said STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai. “Connecting through Taipei is an incredibly effective way to fly almost anywhere throughout Asia.”
