American Air Plans to Add Flights to China, Joining Rivals

(Bloomberg) — American Airlines Group Inc. plans to expand its aviation to Shanghai early next year, joining rivals in taking advantage of a U.S.-China agreement to increase the number of flights allowed between the nations.

American will offer daily service between Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Shanghai Pudong International starting in January, up from four weekly flights currently, the carrier told Bloomberg News Wednesday in an emailed statement. The additional flights will appear for sale on American’s schedule starting this weekend.
