Since 2009, Delta has been increasing nonstop flights from China to the U.S. to address the growing travel demand in the market. This year, the airline launched \u201cWo Ai Damei\u201d initiatives, which means \u201cI love Delta\u201d in Mandarin, to continue building the most Chinese-friendly U.S. airline. The initiatives included launching a Chinese social networking service called \u201cWeChat,\u201d accepting the online payment platform \u201cAlipay\u201d and introducing pre-order Chinese meals served in the Delta One cabin.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe award is a result of our ongoing efforts to be the most Chinese-friendly U.S. airline,\u201d said Mandy Zhou, Delta\u2019s Director of China. \u201cThis year, we have made significant steps in the competitive Chinese market.\u201d<\/p>\n
Delta currently operates daily nonstop flights from Seattle and Detroit to Beijing and Shanghai, and Los Angeles and Tokyo-Narita to Shanghai. Together with our partners, including China Eastern, Shanghai Airlines and China Southern, Delta offers extensive network connections to China and the United States.<\/p>\n
