Beijing has demanded that American Airlines (AAL), Delta (DAL) and United (UAL) all change how their global websites refer to Taiwan by Wednesday, or potentially face sanctions in one of the world's biggest markets for air travel. All three are set to comply.
The U.S. carrier previously referred to Taipei, as “TPE, Taiwan” in its list of destinations, but now offers “TPE – Taoyuan International,” a reference to Taipei’s main airport.
A source familiar with discussions on the matter told CNN that other airlines including Delta and United would change how their websites refer to Taipei in the next 24 to 48 hours. The source didn't specify how exactly the carriers would update their websites.
