Airline hopes for Shanghai flight
The new round of Sino-US aviation negotiations expected to begin in late August and early September were postponed because of the gap between US and Chinese carriers, said an industry insider.
"Under the current market situation, local carriers have a hard time competing against global giants such as Continental. That is why US airlines are enthusiastic to fly to China, while Chinese carriers are hesitating to open more flights. For local airlines, more flights may mean more losses if they cannot get enough passengers," Liu added.
China Eastern Airlines, one of the country's top three carriers, is scheduled to fly to New York from Shanghai by the end of this year. Four to five flights a week are planned on the new route.
