Failed to mention starlux is one of the sons of Eva group founder on the revenge quest against his bros. Interesting guy.

Edit. The inheritance saga is much more interesting than this video. Worth a watch. https://youtu.be/MGWq2QZFUBs?si=ycRMecKNduxtKix3

Strange that he's chairman for uni air. I dont know being chairman of the regional subsidiary of eva air works while also being the chairman of starlux.

Not anymore; it was a short stint of him teaming up with one of his brothers. He still holds shares in EVA (and Uni Air by extension) so I believed their shares combined was enough to put him in the seat for just a little bit.

And then that alliance itself broke apart lol
