Xiamen Airlines formally launched the Xiamen-Los Angeles service, the third American route following Xiamen-Shenzhen-Seattle and Fuzhou-New York services. The opening of the route means Xiamen Airlines will operate ten flights between China's Fujian province and the US weekly, creating a convenient air bridge that strengthens economic and trade ties, and enhances cultural exchanges between the US and China.

Xiamen Airlines will operate the new route with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The MF829 flight departs Xiamen at 8 pm every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, and arrives in Los Angeles at 6 pm the same day. The MF830 flight departs Los Angeles at 12:15 am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and arrives in Xiamen at 5:30 am the next day (all local times).

Los Angeles is Xiamen Airlines' fourth destination in North America. Passengers can now fly non-stop to Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver and New York, as well as seamlessly transit to 74 destinations in North America through the carrier's partners. Xiamen Airlines continues to expand its network of partners and numbers of transfer cities. To make the transit in Xiamen faster and more convenient, Xiamen Airlines has launched various transit services including free hotel stays, free transit lounges and luggage check through at its independently operated T3 terminal in Xiamen Airport.

Following the opening of the Xiamen-Los Angeles route, Xiamen Airlines will further accelerate its globalization efforts. The carrier plans to launch the Los Angeles-Qingdao-Xiamen service in December of this year, further expanding the network of routes serving Los Angeles.
