American Airlines considers move to tap strong travel demand between two countries
Dallas-based American Airlines, the world's largest, said it is reviewing its network and may consider reopening the two flights it suspended last year - flights connecting Chicago and Beijing, as well as Chicago and Shanghai - in the near future, fueled by growing travel demand and the strong performance of its Sino-US flights.
The airline said it put the two routes dormant, meaning they have the option to return, and the carrier will review its network strategy and commercial performance. Last year, it put more emphasis on its flights between China and its hubs in Dallas and Los Angeles.
