Starlux chairman KW Chang

Starlux's chairman K.W.Chang isn't the disavowed son of former EVA Chairman Chang Yung-Fa. In fact, the former chairman's will specifically stated that his third son, K.W.Chang, would take his position of chairman of the Evergreen group (EVA Air's parent company) upon his passing. However, K.W.Chang was ousted by his two elder brothers due to a lack of company shares after the will was announced. He then decided to found Starlux in 2016, and they have come a long way since. The decision to purchase Airbus only jets (10x A321neo, 17xA350xwb) is partially due to the ease for pilots to transfer between Airbus types. K.W.Chang has big visions for the company-namely becoming the Emirates of Asia. As a Taiwanese student pilot I'm very excited to see what comes of it
