Delta Air Lines seems to have cut its Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to/from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) before it resumed. This route operated before the pandemic and was supposed to resume on October 27th. Now, it’s being reported that this route has been scrapped altogether.
Delta Air Lines appears to have canceled its Los Angeles (LAX) to Shanghai (PVG) route.
Previously set to resume on October 27 with a 4x weekly A350, Delta has now removed LAX-PVG through the end of its schedule.

When it was announced last year, the flights between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) was set to run 4x weekly on an Airbus A350. Flying between the United States and China was decimated during the pandemic. It has still not returned to 2019 levels even as demand from the airlines has grown, the two countries are still restricting flight frequencies.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) will still be served by Delta from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). United also flies from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO). American also flies from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
Anthony’s Take: Demand for China flights has not yet fully returned. This route has been removed from the schedule, but might return in the future if demand changes.

Make no mistake. United now owns the Asia-Pacific market.
It’s sad to see that there’s definitely demand from LAX to PVG. China Easten charges a premium price on this route and offers daily flights. I guess Delta just gave it to its partner.
