American Airlines has announced the launch of its Chinese website at americanairlines.cn.

The new site contains complete information about American Airlines and the destinations it connects through the Shanghai-Chicago route. The site also serves as a source of information on the best fares to U.S. and other destinations, communicating special offers to site visitors. The website allows customers to make online bookings without paying any booking fees.

"We are very pleased with the launch of our Chinese Web site," said Victor Lee, regional director of Greater China for American Airlines. "This launch is a further step to reiterate our commitment to provide better service and enhanced convenience to our customers. We hope this new Web site will be used by a large number of travelers and will receive a positive response from them. We are confident that our Web site offers enhanced customer benefits and the best fares for all of our routes, including the Shanghai-Chicago route."

American Airlines has been serving the Shanghai-Chicago route since April 2006, with its 245-seat Boeing 777 aircraft in three-class configuration.
