American Airlines has joined United and Delta in planning to increase China service as flight restrictions are relaxed.
American will move to daily service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Shanghai in January. The carrier currently flies four times weekly on the route, which is its lone service between the U.S. and mainland China.
Between the U.S. and China, airlines from each country are currently limited to a total of 12 roundtrip operations per week. The DOT announced last week that beginning Sept. 1, that number will increase to 18 and then go up again to 24 on Oct. 29.
