"Continuing its expansion in the growing Asia/Pacific market, American Airlines announced today that it has applied to the U.S. Department of Transportation for authority to resume daily nonstop service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Osaka, Japan, on Nov. 1, 2005, and to launch daily nonstop service between Chicago and Nagoya, Japan, on April 3, 2005...."

Will UA match to keep Japan market share? After all, ORD is their largest hub.
