Both FM and CA will become offical members on Dec. 12 at which time a welcome ceremony will be held in Beijing.
NZ inflight magazine didn't say Dec. 1. It only has a generic *A ad which already appeared in OZ timetable file a month ago. So there is still chance of promos. It would be interesting to see how well FM and CA cope with *A intergration. There are problems with China Southern entering SkyTeam all over the place.
