It's only a hub if multiple Skyteam airlines have flights to multiple destinations originating in TPE, but it's almost exclusively a point-to-point destination.<br /><br />In any case, having Eva join *A is good for most business customers, since it provides more options and most business travelers don't fly on discount economy fares.
