American Airlines is further delaying the launch of flights between Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Beijing because it has yet to get approval for certain takeoff and landing times from Chinese authorities.
The airline said earlier this week it was tentatively delaying the start of flights until May 4. On Friday, the airline said it now plans to start the service on May 25.
By Julie Johnsson | American Airlines postponed the launch of its Chicago-to-Beijing service hours before the first flight was due to depart Monday because of a dispute with the Chinese government over landing slots.
The Texas-based carrier, which operates a major international hub at O’Hare, said it had postponed the start of service until May 4, and would rebook or provide refunds to passengers who had purchased tickets for the Monday flight.
