Delta Air Lines has announced a new Los Angeles-Beijing daily nonstop service will take off later this year.
Pending government approvals, Delta’s fifth daily nonstop to the Asia Pacific region from LAX begins on December 16, 2016.
According to the airline, Los Angeles drives 21% of all US-Asia demand.
"Delta’s new nonstop service to Beijing continues our expansion in China, providing our business customers with access to Beijing and beyond through our partnerships with the market’s leading carriers, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines," said Ranjan Goswami, Delta’s vice president – sales, West.
"This is an important route for customers who will enjoy the investments we’ve made to upgrade Delta’s airport facilities, onboard service, Wi-Fi, and industry-leading complimentary in-flight entertainment."
It will be operated with 291-seat Boeing 777-200ER aircraft featuring 37 full flat-bed seats in Delta One.
Along with its services from Seattle and Detroit, Delta will then operate 21 flights a week to Beijing.
