From September 1st, the A350-900 will be replaced by the larger Airbus A350-1000, offering seating for 350 passengers across 4 cabin classes. As a result, Prague will welcome both the AIRSORAYAMA Silver and AIRSORAYAMA Gold aircraft, featuring the distinctive special livery created by internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama.
Alongside Tokyo and Phoenix, Prague will become one of only three destinations in the world to receive regular visits from the AIRSORAYAMA aircraft. From October, passengers will also be able to enjoy a range of exclusive AIRSORAYAMA-themed onboard amenities inspired by Hajime Sorayama’s futuristic aesthetic.
“Prague represents far more than STARLUX’s first destination in Europe—it is a significant milestone in our long-term global network strategy,” said Glenn Chai, CEO of STARLUX Airlines. “As semiconductor supply chains continue to expand across Central Europe, particularly in areas surrounding Prague, the launch of this nonstop service will better support growing business demand while providing leisure travelers a more convenient and comfortable travel option.”
