New interline agreement offers seamless travel between India and Taiwan via key Southeast Asian hubs
Connecting India and Taiwan with Ease
Air India has inked a strategic interline partnership with Taiwan-based Starlux Airlines, enhancing connectivity and offering travellers across Asia a more seamless travel experience. The collaboration allows passengers to book single-ticket itineraries that combine flights from both carriers, simplifying travel processes while ensuring coordinated baggage handling and smoother connections.
The agreement opens new possibilities for Air India passengers travelling to Taipei, routing through popular Southeast Asian gateways such as Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, and Kuala Lumpur. Conversely, Starlux travellers can now enjoy effortless connections to India’s key metropolitan destinations — Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru — via the same hub cities.
A Premium Travel Experience Across Asia
“We are excited to partner with luxury full-service carrier, Starlux Airlines, to enhance travel options for our customers to Taiwan,” said Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India. “This interline agreement aligns perfectly with Air India’s commitment to delivering premium experiences for our guests, while inviting Starlux Airlines customers to explore India’s diverse cities in full-service comfort through our robust network.”
By combining the strengths of both airlines, the partnership not only expands route options but also elevates the traveller experience, making cross-Asia travel smoother, faster, and more convenient.
Strategic Hubs Strengthen Regional Connectivity
The interline agreement leverages key Southeast Asian hubs as connection points, a strategy that reflects the growing demand for enhanced Asia-Pacific air travel. Passengers can now enjoy coordinated schedules, simplified transfers, and the assurance of full-service comfort on both carriers.
For travellers seeking to explore Taiwan’s vibrant capital or India’s dynamic cities, this partnership marks a significant step forward, reducing the friction of multi-leg journeys and improving access to two culturally rich regions.
Looking Ahead: Seamless Travel Across Asia
As both airlines work to implement the partnership, travellers can expect more integrated itineraries, smoother connections, and expanded travel choices across Asia. This collaboration not only strengthens Air India’s international network but also positions Starlux Airlines as a premier gateway for travellers heading to India.
In an era where seamless travel is increasingly valued, the Air India–Starlux interline agreement exemplifies how airline partnerships can enhance connectivity, elevate passenger experiences, and foster stronger ties between key Asian destinations.
