Following the Department’s allocation of 7 frequencies to American for Los Angeles-Beijing service in Order 2016-12-14, 1 unallocated frequency remained available to U.S. carriers. Earlier this year, United returned 3 weekly U.S.-China Zone 1 frequencies, leaving four available for allocation.

So, given that AA is looking to go dormant on 14 frequencies, Delta should have a pretty good case to get these frequencies and MSP should have a good shot at getting PVG service. Woo!
