Notable additions include a second daily Los Angeles-Hong Kong flight on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft on October 26 and twice-daily flights between San Francisco-Seoul starting October 25. The airline is set to increase flights between Shanghai-Los Angeles and add a second daily flight between New York/Newark-Porto, Portugal.
