TAIPEI -- Taiwan's newest air carrier, Starlux Airlines, began service Thursday in a bid to upend the duopoly of China Airlines and Eva Airways -- the company that ousted Starlux's founder.
Starlux chief Chang Kuo-wei, aka the "flying chairman," personally piloted one of the maiden flights to Macao. The airline plans to compete with rivals not as a budget carrier, but as a full-service operator.
