United Asia Pacific routes

United Airlines (UA) has filed a request with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish a new international flight route connecting Los Angeles (LAX) and Beijing (PEK), China.

With increasing costs, North American carriers are placing their bets on the Asia-Pacific region as the next lucrative source of high-margin revenues.

United Airlines (UA), already the largest U.S. carrier across the Atlantic and Pacific, is taking bold strides to solidify its position in the Asia-Pacific region.
