AA boosts US-China daily connections to six with new LA-Beijing service
FORWARDERS have been provided with more opportunities to further connect cargo traffic between Asia and the Americas with the recent launch of a new daily service between Los Angeles and Beijing by American Airlines.
The inaugural outbound flight left Los Angeles on November 5, with the first return from Beijing the following day.
Inbound from the US, American believes business from shippers will include electronics, medical and pharma products, perishables and e-commerce shipments. While outbound from China automobile parts for the new generations of hybrid cars, liquid crystal displays and parts along with TV and PC parts are expected to be the main goods.
The new route further strengthens American's presence in China, making American the only US-based carrier offering non-stop service between LAX and PEK, according to AJOT.
American Airlines Cargo president, Rick Elieson, said: "I am confident that freight forwarders and shippers in China will welcome the chance not only to send their goods on American's service to the US but we are also giving them the ability to open up new markets through onward connections with our vast Latin America network where there are many opportunities for Chinese exports," he said.
