[quote=MIRANDAZHAO,263284]American airliner US Airways was awarded a license to inaugurate its first US-China air service, the US Department of Transportation announced last Friday.

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.
