United Airlines pushes back resumption of several China routes

United Airlines temporarily pauses the start of direct flights to Beijing and Shanghai from Newark. The airline was scheduled to commence daily direct services between Newark, Shanghai, and Beijing starting on January 9th, but these flights are now expected to begin in mid-February. In February, United Airlines plans almost to double the available seats, increasing from 124 flights to 317. This represents an additional 49,000 seats between the US and China.<br/>
