On the heals of AA commencing its own LAX-PVG services, China Eastern and AA notified the DOT that they will terminate all code-share relationships effective May 31st 2011.

MU and AA have maintained a code-share relationship since 1998 covering both Trans Pacific services, and host of domestic China markets.

NO surprise with AA starting their own LAX to Shanghai flights. United is flying to Shanghai from LAX too as well as Chicago and SFO.

No surprise with MU joining Skyteam , I would expect that it is only a matter of time until this is replaced with a DL/MU agreement .

Moderation in all things ... including moderation ;-)

I'm quite curious to see how the LAX-PVG route will play out for AA esp with United also entering the market this spring.

Seems to me AA will be weakest one especially once MU ties the Skyteam knot.

So far, so good. And word is it is looking to add yet another LAX transpacific next spring, possibly Beijing.

Could AA try a code-share with Hainan Airlines. It could help support the flights from PEK but unfortunately HU doesn't have much in Shanghai. Hainan Airlines has tried to enter OW so starting code-sharing could be helpful.

Has HU had any success, are they likely to enter OW? Whilst I know OW has KA and a lesser extent CX, I would have thought a mainland chineese partner would have been critical in any alliances success?

OW needs a domestic Chinese carrier as travelling to and from HKG requirer a visa. I think OW is still unhappy MU went to Skyteam but it needs to get over it and start talking to HU.

Think it is very unlikely HU will enter OW, well at least CX will be extremely unhappy if HU enter. HU does compete quite significantly with CX, especially with HX and UO (HU is majority owner of HX (Hong Kong Airline) and UO (Hong Kong Express)). With the recent aggressive expansion of HX in Hong Kong, CX will for sure block HU from entering oneworld.
