The skies between China and the United States are getting busier.
Last year, 75 weekly nonstop flights were added between the two countries, up more than 30 percent from 2014. More are on the way.
Six of the eight airlines that provide direct US-China services opened new routes last year, adding to their fast-growing schedules. Some even expanded service to China's second-tier cities.
During the past peak season, there were 320 weekly flights.
The four largest Chinese airlines, namely, Air China, China Eastern, China Southern and Hainan Airlines, expanded in the U.S. market significantly last year.
China's flagship carrier Air China leads the "Big Four" with 55 weekly flights from Beijing to seven U.S. cities, including a new route from Beijing to Newark in New Jersey, in October. The airline company also increased the frequency of the Beijing-Los Angeles route to 21 flights a week.
Hainan Airlines opened three new routes, namely, Shanghai to Boston, Shanghai to Seattle, and Beijing to San Jose in California, becoming the first airline to fly nonstop from China to the heart of Silicon Valley.

The national environmental watchdog says boosting efforts to control air pollution in northern China, especially winter smog from the burning of coal, is a mission for this year.
Among the efforts, Beijing has announced that it will wipe out coal use in most rural areas by 2020.
Beijing's Environmental Protection Bureau says as much as 60 percent of smog content is caused by coal burning in the starting phase of each smog.
To start with, Beijing will replace coal-fired heating stoves with those powered by electricity or gas in 400 villages this year. The city will then carry out the campaign to the districts of Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai and Shijingshan by 2017.
Beijing's downtown districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng eliminated coal burning last year.
Beijing and other places in northern China experienced several smog alerts in the past two months, when peak readings were many times higher than the national safety level. Burning coal for winter heating has been blamed as one of the primary causes of air pollution.
Environmental authorities have vowed to prevent the issue of environmental protection from becoming a stumbling block in the country's drive to fulfill its goals set out in the next Five-Year Plan which starts this year.

中国国家环境监管机构表示，明年的工作重点是加强管控华北地区的空气污染，其中控制因烧煤而引发的冬季雾霾为重中之重。
北京表示，到2020年，全市大部分农村地区将实现“无煤化”。
北京市环保部表示，在每次雾霾初始阶段，烧煤引起的雾占比多达60%。
今年，北京将完成全市400个村庄煤改清洁能源任务。2017年底前在朝阳、海淀、丰台、石景山区实现所有村庄煤改清洁能源。
位于北京市中心的东城区和西城区已于去年实现无煤化。
过去两个月以来，北京及华北其他地区发布了严重的雾霾预警，污染峰值比国家安全标准高出许多倍。冬季烧煤取暖被认为是造成空气污染的主要原因之一。
环保部门承诺不会让环保问题阻碍国家实现下个五年计划目标，今年是新五年计划的第一年。
