Here is the official announcement: http://www.aa.com/i18n/urls/moreasia...title=moreasia
I'm guessing this is why the president of AA visited the head of the Chinese CAAC in Beijing last week.

Very happy to see the service, need to see what date is the inaugural but would love to be on it if possible.
I have the feeling DFW-HKG just became the hardest route to burn a EVIP the moment they fly it.
