Today, my country's "unluckiest" airline: Taiwan Starlux Airlines (STARLUX Airlines) will usher in its first Airbus A330 neo. The plane will leave Toulouse today before arriving at its "new home" in Taipei later tomorrow afternoon. It is worth mentioning that the airline already operates Airbus A321neo and will operate some Airbus A350 aircraft in the future.

called Starspace Airlines the "worst luck" airline in my country because Starspace Airlines made its maiden flight in January 2020. Shortly after the maiden flight, it encountered the new crown epidemic At that time, the entire civil aviation industry was shrouded in the "shadow" of the new crown epidemic, and Xingyu Airlines was no exception. Affected by the epidemic, the airline was forced to suspend flights. Despite the initial difficulties, the airline is determined to weather the storm and is preparing to expand its flying services.
