Delta Fares

Flights on delta to china from US?

My friend has a buddy pass on Delta and he wants to come visit me in China, however I don't think they fly to China, although it looks like they fly to Japan there have been rumors for years that they're opening a flight to china? any truth to these rumors? Or as far as buddy passes work could he fly airchina since they're in the sky team alliance? Thanks!

1. Delta does not fly to China, yet. They have petitioned the government to allow them to fly there out of Atlanta. Doing some research, it looks like the only city he could fly into on the delta network is Guangzhou. That would be on China Southern Airlines out of Los Angeles, California.
2. Just as the person above me said, Delta is petitioning the government to be able to operate a flight out of Atlanta to China. As far as Air China, they are part of the Star Alliance which United Airlines is a member carrier of. China Airlines which is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan has some code-share agreement with Delta. Korean Airlines is part of the SkyTeam Alliance so your friend would probably fly Delta into Seoul, Korea and connect on Korean Airlines into China.
