American Airlines has applied to operate a daily service between Los Angeles and Beijing.
The airline has submitted an application to the US Department of Transportation and if approved, it would begin the service on December 16.
Andrew Nocella, chief marketing officer for American Airlines, said: "This new route would solidify Los Angeles as American’s West Coast gateway to Asia and it would be our only Beijing access from the western United States, creating new connections to one of Asia’s major business and leisure destinations."
