The news, shared this Monday through the company\u2019s social media channels, confirms that starting today, customers will be able to book itineraries with the Taiwanese airline from four key U.S. airports: Chicago O\u2019Hare, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expansion of International Connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement with EVA Airways becomes the second partnership Southwest has established with a Taiwanese carrier in August. The Dallas-based company had already confirmed an interline agreement with China Airlines, set to take effect in January 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/07\/southwest-breaks-tradition-how-its-new-assigned-seating-system-will-work.html\">Southwest Breaks Tradition: How Its New Assigned Seating System Will Work<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That agreement with China Airlines was described as a model for future collaborations, including the possibility of earning and redeeming miles across frequent flyer programs, the development of code-share agreements, and joint co-branding initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Strategy Focused on the Frequent Traveler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new partnership, Southwest aims to strengthen its position in long-haul routes, a market where it has so far had limited presence. Access to flights operated by EVA Airways and, in the future, the additional benefits arising from cooperation with China Airlines, represent a key step toward attracting passengers who value seamless connectivity and more robust loyalty programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-815d8787     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-2 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"202\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-380x190.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Tocumen 2030: Hub of the Americas Projects 30 Million Passengers and a Strategic $220 Million Expansion<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-post__text uagb-post__cta wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link uagb-text-link\" style=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Read More<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-380x190.webp 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Rebirth of a Hub?
