Qantas and American Airlines will expand services on trans-Pacific routes between North America and Australia from next month.

American Airlines, the world's largest airline, will start direct flights between Sydney and Los Angeles on December 19, after a gap of nearly two decades. Qantas in turn, will start a direct flight between Sydney and San Francisco.

Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said it was a good time to expand the trans-Pacific route, with traffic from US to Australia growing at nine per cent annually.

'With the stronger US dollar and the bigger purchasing power, we think the potential for growing that even further is massive,' he said.
