MAXjet plans Shanghai-Seattle service
MAXjet Airways has applied for US authority to operate a non-stop service between Shanghai and Seattle, with continuing same-plane flights to Los Angeles.
The all-business class airline proposes to operate this service daily from March 25 2009.
If approved, it will be its first transpacific route and will be operated with Boeing 767-200ER aircraft already in its fleet.
