United Airlines Announces New Service to Guangzhou, China
Published by AirlineFanatic | Filed under legacy carriers
United just announcednew nonstop service between San Francisco and Guangzhou, China, to start on June 18th of next year. The route will be operated once daily on one of United’s 777 aircraft, nicely equipped with 10 first class “suites” and 45 business class seats. This should be a fairly lucrative route for United as most Pacific routes are - there should be plenty of business travelers with expense accounts and corporate travel programs who will pony up for business and first class comfort.
United already has good reach into Asia, especially in China. The new service to Guangzhou is complemented by existing service from San Francisco to Beijing and Shanghai, Chicago to Beijing and Shanghai, and Washington to Beijing. There are plenty of other US carriers vying to get the rights to enter the Chinese market, but United remains leaps and bounds ahead for now.
