American Airlines is planning to increase service to China, joining United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, as restrictions on flights to China ease.
American will transition to daily service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Shanghai in January. The airline currently operates four times a week on the route, its only service between the U.S. and mainland China.
Between the U.S. and China, airlines in each country are currently limited to a total of 12 round-trip flights per week. The DOT announced last week that that number will increase to 18 on September 1, and then to 24 on October 29.
