Passengers heading to San Francisco from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, in eastern China can now fly nonstop from the city since United Airlines Inc launched its direct flight service on Friday - a first between the two cities.

The airlines will operate Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on the route, offering flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The first flight that took off from Hangzhou was full. On average, United Airlines has seen more than 80 percent of its seats taken for all US-China flights, and the percentage is still growing.

"We chose Hangzhou based on the emerging middle class and the rapid economic growth of the city," said Marcel Fuchs, United Airlines' vice-president of Atlantic and Pacific sales.
