American Airlines has been awarded tentative rights to begin service between Chicago O'Hare International Airport and Beijing, beginning in March 2009.
The United States Department of Transportation issued its Show Cause Order in September, and American will fly the route with its 245-seat Boeing 777 aircraft in three-class configuration beginning March 25, 2009.
"We're obviously delighted with DOT's decision today," said Will Ris, American's senior vice president for government affairs. "We said in our application that American's Chicago gateway will provide increased network competition and customer choice in the growing China market. DOT and Secretary Peters obviously agreed with that assessment, and we sincerely appreciate that."
Ris also voiced American's appreciation to thousands of customers, employees and supporters who weighed in on this subject with supportive letters and e-mails to DOT.
American's Chicago hub is an important gateway to Asia, with more than 500 daily departures to more than 115 nonstop destinations flown by American and its regional affiliate, American Eagle. Besides the large Chicago-area market, American also expects that travelers in 29 states and the District of Columbia will also benefit from the new service and its convenient connections to Beijing and beyond through Chicago.
