Southwest Makes EVA Air Third Int’l Partner

Southwest Airlines has partnered with EVA Air, making the Taiwan-based airline its third international partner, the Dallas-based carrier announced Tuesday. 

The carriers will jointly operate itineraries between North America and Asia connecting through their shared gateway airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle-Tacoma and Chicago O’Hare, according to Southwest.

Southwest in February launched its first international partnership with Icelandair, and has since expanded the gateways included in that agreement. In June, the carrier announced China Airlines would be its second international partner.
