Old news really as this has already been confirmed for over 9 months...
How much more 'future' do they want to be...?..."Taiwan's second-largest carrier is to officially become a "future member", after it signs an agreement with the alliance in Taipei on Thursday, the company said."

This is article from AsiaTravel Tips. Quite interesting. Surabaya is new destination for *A. Will this make SQ bring SUB into SQ flight rather than MI? Or those folks in SUB will fly BR instead of SQ?
Star Alliance’s Chief Executive Board (CEB) has unanimously accepted the membership application of EVA Air.
Mark Schwab, CEO Star Alliance, said, “EVA Air is a very good fit for Star Alliance as the airline will add many new routes to our global network, with a specific focus on the growing Far East aviation market. This will increase the choice for our customers and is in line with our mission of being the leading global airline alliance for the international traveller.”
Since its founding nearly 15 years ago, Star Alliance has progressively built its presence in the Asia Pacific region and will have eight member carriers based in this region by mid-2013.
Through its future membership in Star Alliance, EVA Air will be able to offer its customers access to a global network, along with seamless travel and status recognition within the various member carrier frequent flyer programmes.
James Jeng, Chairman, EVA Air, said, “After careful evaluation we concluded that Star Alliance offers the best match for EVA Air. Our networks complement each other and we will expand the existing Alliance flight options in the growing cross-straits market. We look forward to significant synergy in both service enhancement and expansion of our customer base. In addition, our partnership with Air China makes the Star Alliance especially attractive to us.”
The integration process will now begin, with the respective teams at EVA Air and Star Alliance commencing the work which needs to be completed before a new airline can join the Star Alliance network. Air China will be assisting in this process as the mentor airline.
EVA Air’s network of around 60 destinations will add Kaohsiung in Taiwan and Surabaya in Indonesia as unique airports to the Star Alliance network. In addition, Taiwan’s geographic location adds to the quality of the Star Alliance hubs in Asia, is it has the shortest average distance to all major cities in the Asia Pacific region. In total, the network of 30 airlines (the current 26 and four future members) will offer more than 22,000 daily flights to 1,345 destinations in 191 countries.visit my blog

Being a regular flyer with EVA in the past, before I got relocated back to Singapore, Their business class seats really sucks due to the fabric which is smooth and you end up in the floor after you wake up.
So, can someone Please tell to change or improve their seats on their new 77W!Comment

Yes I know what you mean on the 747s. Their Super Business Class is really not at all 'super'.Originally posted by YYC77 View Post
The 77Ws are supposed to be much better.Comment

Flew BR once almost twenty years ago (heck, I remember when the BR code beloned to British Caledonian back in 1982
)
Would love to see them return to PTY and may very well fly them again when they join *ALe jour de Saint Eugène, en traversant la Calle Mayor...Comment
