American Airlines to launch Los Angeles to Beijing flights after delay
American Airlines will launch daily service from LA to Beijing this November, bringing to an end a stalemate with the Chinese government over airport access that led to a months-long delay. The inaugural flight will depart on Nov. 5 from Los Angeles International Airport at 10:55 a.m. and arrive in Beijing at 4:20 p.m. local time. American first announced the start of service on social media last month. The new route will help grow American’s China presence and strengthen its international service at Los Angeles International Airport, where the carrier will be the only US airline offering nonstop service to Beijing. But getting to the point where it’s ready to fly the route has been a lengthy and bureaucratic process for American that has involved authorities in both the US and China. <br/>
