STARLUX Airlines took delivery of its fifth Airbus A350-1000, registered B-58555, in France on October 16, 2026. Aviation Flights records show that the aircraft subsequently operated delivery flight SJX2351, departing Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (TLS) for Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) at 1:28 a.m. Taipei time on October 17. The delivery and departure dates fall on different calendar days because of the time difference.
B-58555 carries manufacturer serial number 805 and is an A350-1041 powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines. Previously registered F-WZGM for testing, the aircraft made its first flight on August 27, 2026, and completed further test and customer acceptance flights before delivery.
The A350-1000 is the stretched widebody variant of the A350 family and one of the key aircraft supporting STARLUX's long-haul network expansion. The airline's first A350-1000 arrived in Taiwan in January 2026. Airbus said at the time that STARLUX had ordered 18 aircraft of the type, which would join its existing A350-900s to serve North America, Europe and selected Asia-Pacific routes.
