The Airways, headquartered in Arizona, becomes the sixth US carrier to be granted the permit for US-China passenger flights. Six American airlines already operate China-bound air services - the other five are American, Continental, Northwest, United and Delta Airlines. The US Department of Transportation also awarded US-China passenger flights to three other US carriers serving the China routes: American Airlines, Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines. US Airways will fly between Philadelphia and Beijing, while American, Continental and Northwest each will use their new rights to add a daily flight to their existing US-China routes. . China is the fastest-growing aviation market in the world after passenger traffic hit 160 million in 2006, up 15 percent on the previous year. CAAC estimates that passenger volumes will maintain double-digit growth up to 2010. Naturally, there will be more international airliners flying from other counties to China. For American travel goers, this is a piece of good news.
