StarLux going with A350
 
StarLux intends to buy 17 A350. CAn you say ambitious?

StarLux Airlines to purchase 17 A350s - Taipei Times

Can Taiwan support another biggish airline?
A350 were better deals than 77W?

77W is old technology compared to the A350. With 777x's yet released, it makes sense for Starlux to choose the A350-1000s. Airbus commonality probably factored into the decision to get the A359s instead of 787s. It's definitely ambitious to say the least for Chairman Chang to place such a sizable WB order when they haven't even started operations. Only time will tell if the Taiwanese market can provide the demands......Chang did say in a press conference that its customer base will be drawn mainly from SE Asia, and that his goal is to make TPE a commuting hub just like DXB. IMO Chang has a unique vision for Starlux's future, and it's very interesting to see how this plays out!
