Taiwan’s premium carrier STARLUX Airlines has earned the coveted 2025 Five Star Major Airline Award in the global APEX passenger rankings.

The airline stands out for delivering exceptional travel experiences, with travelers consistently praising its comfortable cabins, premium dining, comprehensive entertainment options, high-speed internet connectivity, and superior cabin service.

2025 APEX Awards


This prestigious recognition comes from the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX). The organization’s Five Star and Four Star Awards are uniquely based on unbiased passenger feedback.

The 2025 evaluation process saw record-breaking participation, with discerning travelers rating over one million verified flights across 600+ airlines worldwide. This year’s assessment implemented even more rigorous evaluation criteria, making the achievement particularly noteworthy.

“This award fills us with immense pride and gratitude,” says STARLUX CEO Glenn Chai. “Our team’s unwavering dedication made this possible, especially considering we launched just before the pandemic and expanded operations in 2023.”

“This recognition validates our commitment to excellence, and we’ll continue delivering outstanding service and safety to enhance our passengers’ journey.”
