Taiwanese international airline, Starlux Airlines, is the World’s Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award winner.
“We are happy to announce that Starlux Airlines has won for the second year in a row the “ch-aviation World’s Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award 2024″, with an average aircraft age of 2.04* years,” said organisers.
Ch-aviation established the Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award to revere airlines worldwide who understand the value and necessity of investing in their fleets, introducing new-generation aircraft that considerably reduce CO2 emissions in the aviation industry and improve fuel economy.
Its sustainability represents a significant challenge and will continue to require giant leaps forward for the aviation industry. Hence, the ch-aviation has decided to honour them with this award that celebrates their effort.
“It is important to note that this award is based entirely on non-manipulable aircraft data. There is no jury or any other subjective parameter involved,” reads a message on the company website.
