SINGAPORE, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Starlux Airlines has placed an order for five Airbus A350 freighters and three A330neo widebody passenger jets, its chief executive said on Wednesday.

Starlux CEO Glenn Chai announced the order on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow.

The A330neos will be delivered in 2025-2026, followed by the freighters, said Benoit de Saint-Exupery, the senior vice president of sales at Airbus' commercial aircraft business.

Starlux, the island's newest full-service airline, launched its first flights in 2020 and serves destinations including Tokyo, Bangkok, Macau, Hanoi and Singapore.

The all-Airbus operator competes against the island's long-established carriers China Airlines and Eva Airways, which are expanding and updating their own fleets with Boeing's rival 787s. (Reporting by Lisa Barrington; Writing by Jamie Freed. Editing by Gerry Doyle)
