American Airlines Becomes First U.S. Airline to Launch Daily Nonstop Service Between Los Angeles and Shanghai

This articles about American airlines & it's regional affiliate American Eagle beefing up international flights as well as adding 10 new destinations. American will offer non-stop daily flights to Shanghai, which will mark the biggest global partnership between American and fellow oneworld® Alliance partners British Airways and Iberia Airlines. This will allow easy access for businesses that need to be face-to-face with their Chinese partners or possibly open new expansion opportunities for current U.S. companies. With most business done over the internet or video conferences the 10 new destinations will offer a chance to get back to a more hands on approach for some companies.

LAX is the main hub for the international flights, as well as the main port for flights in the U.S. The move will put American airlines firmly in the driver seat as the leader in global travel. The 20 million dollar investment could pay for itself in less then 5 years, and is unique simply for going non-stop to China. It may be the first, but definitely won't be the last.
