Want to visit Bali? There’s now a fantastic new option. STARLUX Airlines officially launched its Taipei–Bali route on October 1, with the inaugural flight JX765 departing from Taoyuan International Airport at 10:10 AM, followed by 5 weekly services.
Bali is STARLUX’s second destination in Indonesia, and with this new route, the airline’s network expands to 34 cities.

The inaugural event was held in the Taoyuan Airport boarding lounge. STARLUX partnered with Canadian sportswear brand lululemon, inviting brand ambassadors to lead passengers in a yoga session. Before even boarding, travelers could slip into Bali’s relaxed rhythm.
After the flight arrived at Ngurah Rai International Airport, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate the new route.
Why Bali?
Beyond its island resort appeal, Bali draws travelers with yoga, wellness retreats, and slow living experiences. STARLUX CEO Chien-Hua Chai noted that this route strengthens the airline’s Asian network and aims to connect European and American travelers via Taiwan’s Taoyuan Airport transit, linking Southeast Asia with Western markets.
