I was under the impression that Eva Air is a very good/reliable airline...what causes these delays?
The delays on BR11 & BR12 are caused by insufficient turnaround time mainly at TPE but also LAX. The 77A aircraft used for BR12 most of the times comes from either Saigon or Beijing scheduled to arrive in TPE around 17:00. Flightaware data for B-16718/19/20 showed average of 2+ hours of unloading/cleaning/loading the aircraft. So delay on BR12 scheduled departure of 18:25. The late arrival of BR12 will in turn delay the departure of BR11 (LAX-TPE).
