American to fly LAX-Sydney daily

American Airlines' upcoming Los Angeles-Sydney service will operate daily when it launches on December 17. The non-stop service was originally scheduled to "initially operate on peak days" before increasing to six-times weekly in January (see news, June 10). However, it will now launch as a daily operation, reports airlineroute.net. American will roster a three-class B777-300ER with fully-flat business seating on the LAX-Syndey route, which is part of its joint business agreement with fellow Oneworld carrier Qantas. aa.com Graham Smith
