Air India joining
Is there an estimated join date? From today's news, it looks to be on track for June, as projected; is the Board meeting scheduled for late or early June? Hoping to use some partner miles for a flight.

That drama has been going on for ages and so I would recommend not making any plans based on it joining Star. They keep talking about summer. I'll believe when I see it.

Btw, who is sponsoring them this time? Lufthansa again?

Ages I guess is an understatement. But they would be very welcome to strengthen presence in that region.

Thread title needs clarity as it implies a statement of fact when it is really a question.
