US Airways looks to other Asia routes
(Source : Inquirer , March 02, 2007)
Philadelphia could get more direct air service to Asia - including flights to Tokyo - were US Airways to win approval to launch nonstop trips to China next year, the airline's CE, Doug Parker, said. As expected, US Airways announced it would file an application with the DOT later this year to start flying once a day in each direction between Philadelphia International and Shanghai. US Airways would need to buy or lease additional, long-range jets to make the 12-hour flights to China, and could use the same planes to open other routes to Asia. US Airways has been talking to the parent of Air Canada, about buying or leasing Airbus A340 jets that Air Canada expects to begin replacing this year.
