Virus Outbreak: Airlines offering a moon feast for Mid-Autumn FestivalBy Kao Shih-ching / Staff reporterEVA Airways Corp (長榮航空) and StarLux Airlines Co (星宇航空) yesterday both launched “flight to nowhere” programs for next month’s Mid-Autumn Festival, hoping to offer passengers a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of the moon from a plane. The latest offering follows their programs last month for Father’s Day and Lovers’ Day (also known as the Qixi Festival), in which tickets sold out quickly. EVA said it would offer one evening flight per day during the Mid-Autumn Festival long weekend from Oct. 1 to Oct. 4. The company plans to deploy the plane for four “flight to nowhere” services during the Mid-Autumn Festival long weekend from Oct. 1 to Oct. 4. Meanwhile, StarLux Airlines Co (星宇航空) plans to offer six “fly to the moon” flights on Oct. 1 and Oct. 2, using its A321neo planes.
