China-US nonstops easing connections

The skies between China and the United States are getting busier.

In 2015, 75 weekly nonstop flights were added between the two countries - up more than 30 percent from 2014 - and more are on the way.

Six of the eight airlines that provide direct US-China services opened new routes in 2015, adding to their fast-growing schedules. Some even expanded service to China's second-tier cities.
