US airlines have made their final presentations to federal regulators in the hope of securing the first new flights to China from the US in over a decade.

Competition for the new routes has been fierce, with three major airlines and other smaller carriers all competing for what could become very lucrative services. China is considered the next big airline market with a population of over 1bn and a rapidly growing economy. Currently only United Airlines and Northwest Airlines operate US-China flights.
