US airlines say further amending websites to change Taiwan references
The 3 largest US airlines said they are in the process of amending their systems to address Chinese requests over how they refer to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, after Chinese state media reported that they had yet to complete revisions in time for a Thursday deadline. The Global Times Thursday singled out Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines in a report which said that the companies had yet to meet requirements. The CAAC had originally set a deadline for July 25. However, it said last month that the 4 US airlines had asked for another extension as it perceived their amendments as "incomplete". Checks Thursday showed Delta, United and American now list only Taipei's airport code and city, but not the name Taiwan, while there is no mention of Taipei or Taiwan on Hawaiian's website. <br/>
