The state-owned Chinese airline wants to start flying a Beijing-Los Angeles-San Francisco route and the same cities in reverse order.

Thousands of cases of a new virus have been confirmed worldwide and the efforts being made to control its spread are ramping up.

Air Canada and Air China have signed a joint venture agreement that will increase co-operation on flights between Canada and China and on key connecting domestic flights in both countries.

An Air China flight with nearly 300 people on board was forced to make an emergency landing at Winnipeg’s airport.

Health officials say people who travelled on an Air China flight from Beijing to Vancouver on March 3 may be at risk of measles after a passenger fell ill.

All positive cases are people who were either on the original March 21st Air China Flight CA991, or were in contact with someone who had been on that flight.

Passengers on yet another flight from Beijing into Vancouver may be at risk of contracting measles.

Health officials in Vancouver say two people who arrived in the city on a flight from Beijing have tested positive for measles.
