The Taiwanese government has greenlighted an amendment to existing regulations that would allow the widely-anticipated startup company StarLux Airlines to become Taiwan’s third major commercial airline, operating beside the already well-known EVA Air and China Airlines.

StarLux Airlines was registered last year and founded by Chang Kuo-wei, the youngest son of Chang Yung-fa, the late business tycoon who took decades to create the Taiwanese transportation conglomerate Evergreen Group that encompasses Evergreen Marine, the fourth largest container shipping company in the world, and EVA Air, the second largest Taiwanese airline.
