• STARLUX Airlines is using GLSHK’s EzyCustoms platform to support its new Taipei–Prague route, launched on 1 August, marking the airline’s first direct expansion into Europe.
• EzyCustoms supports EU ICS2 and PLACI requirements through automated data validation, pre-arrival compliance checks and real-time filings, helping STARLUX manage high-value and time-sensitive cargo while maintaining safety standards.
• GLSHK has supported STARLUX’s cargo operations since 2019, including e-AWB processing through EzyCargo and customs screening across 34 destinations. The Prague launch extends that partnership and demonstrates the scalability of its digital cargo infrastructure.

Global Logistics System (HK) Company Limited (GLSHK) today announced that STARLUX Airlines (“STARLUX,” IATA code: JX) is leveraging its EzyCustoms platform—a cutting-edge air cargo safety screening solution—to support its first Taipei–Prague route, officially inaugurated on 1 August.  Having served as STARLUX’s trusted technology partner powering its global cargo routes since 2019, GLSHK is now extending its customs safety screening capabilities to support the airline’s first expansion into Europe.

Driving Cargo Digitalisation Through Strategic Partnership

Since launching the partnership in 2019, GLSHK and STARLUX have worked closely to advance the airline’s air freight digitalisation. STARLUX uses GLSHK’s EzyCargo platform for electronic air waybill (e-AWB) processing and EzyCustoms for global customs safety screening across its network of 34 established Asian and international destinations.

Supporting Customs Compliance for Global Network Growth

As STARLUX expands into Europe with its direct Taipei–Prague route, it must meet strict customs requirements, including the European Union’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2) and Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information (PLACI). These requirements call for precise safety screening and data filing before departure.

With EzyCustoms, supported by real-time customs status updates backed by IATA ONE Record, STARLUX can streamline pre-arrival compliance checks, automated data validation, and real-time filings. This strengthens the airline’s ability to manage high-value and time-sensitive cargo while maintaining the highest safety and compliance standards.

STARLUX Airlines said: “As STARLUX continues to expand our global network, ensuring smooth and compliant operations is essential to delivering high-quality and reliable service to our customers. The launch of our Taipei–Prague route marks an important step in our European growth, and GLSHK’s EzyCustoms platform provides the digital capabilities we need to meet evolving customs safety screening requirements with confidence. We value GLSHK’s continued support and look forward to strengthening our partnership as we connect more destinations worldwide.”

“Expanding into Europe represents a milestone for STARLUX Airlines, and we are proud to serve as their trusted technology partner in this exciting chapter,” said GLSHK Chief Executive Officer, Simon Ng. “GLSHK has been supporting STARLUX’s air cargo compliance and operations across their established Asian and international routes, and extending our service to their new Taipei–Prague route demonstrates the scalability and reliability of EzyCustoms. We remain dedicated to supporting global carriers with the advanced digital tools needed to ensure compliance and operational excellence as they open new skies.”

The collaboration with STARLUX underscores GLSHK’s continued commitment to air cargo digitalisation. It also reinforces GLSHK’s position as a trusted technology partner for global carriers, supporting them in meeting evolving customs requirements, improving operational efficiency, and enabling sustainable network growth.
