United Airlines, the airline with the most U.S.-China service, has made seats available for sale to its newest China destination, Xi’an.
The nonstop service will be the first trans-Pacific flights to Xi’an operated by any airline, and United will be the first U.S. airline to serve the city.
United intends to use the world’s most advanced passenger airplane, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, to operate the three-times-weekly service from San Francisco between May 8 and Oct. 27, 2016, subject to government approval.
United wishes to acknowledge the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of State and the Civil Aviation Administration of China for their forward-thinking negotiations to open nonstop flights from the United States to interior points in China, which make the Xi’an service possible.
