A second airline to the US has been opened in south China's Guangzhou.

The first flight from Guangzhou to America, via Tokyo, took off on November 2 from the new Baiyun International Airport.

The opening of this airline will cut down the time to the US by over 5 hours.

The cost of flights on the new airline will be only US$700 for the round trip and shuttle between Guangzhou and eight port cities of American including Detroit, Honolulu and Los Angeles.

The move will mainly benefit business and academic exchange groups.
