Taiwan's Starlux Airlines is pushing Airbus to speed up deliveries as it seeks to expand its routes beyond Asia to keep up with booming post-pandemic demand, the carrier's chief executive said
Starlux took delivery of the first of 18 A350s in October as it expands operations to long-haul routes from Taipei, starting with Los Angeles next week.
"We have been pushing Airbus to provide the aircraft as soon as possible, but their production rate is not able at the moment to return to pre-pandemic levels," he said. "New York is a must - it's the largest city in North America, but it depends on aircraft deliveries," he said. "The headache for us is Airbus can't hand them over."
