Los Angeles, California, and Taipei, Taiwan – On June 21, Taiwan-based luxury carrier STARLUX Airlines hosted the STARLUX Airlines Drone Show night at Dodger Stadium. The event featured a ceremonial first pitch by baseball legend Hong-Chih Kuo, signature cocktails served by STARLUX flight attendants, a drone show themed around STARLUX, and a giveaway of roundtrip airline tickets. A crowd of 50,600 attended as the Los Angeles Dodgers competed against the Los Angeles Angels.
The event marked the three-year extension of STARLUX’s “Proud Partner designation” and its new role as the Dodgers’ “Exclusive Taiwanese Airline.” This collaboration is significant for the Dodgers, whose ties to Taiwan date back to 2002 when they welcomed their first Taiwan-born player. Now, over 20 years later, they have partnered with their first Taiwanese airline.
STARLUX Night began with former Taiwanese Dodger All-Star pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo throwing the ceremonial first pitch. Kuo, known for being the first Taiwanese player to hit a home run in MLB, returned to deliver a fastball across home plate before an enthusiastic crowd. Additionally, two fans won roundtrip airline tickets from STARLUX: premium economy tickets announced after the second inning and business class tickets after the fourth inning.
