If you’ve been looking forward to some new routes by China Southern Airlines, it’s finally happening. The state-owned-carrier has recently revealed that it is expected to launch several new international routes before October 2026.
According to Reuters report, the new routes for China Southern Airlines include Amsterdam (AMD), London (LON), Doha (DOH), Riyadh (RUH), and Tehran (THR). With this, travellers will have access to 17 new international routes through the airline. This exciting news was revealed by the airline during an event that was hosted in Beijing.
These exciting new international routes come as a sign of recovery in the airline industry following the pandemic. As the restrictions were only lifted in early 2023, the industry is slowly opening up new routes. With this, China Southern’s new routes are expected to help the recovery by 85%!
Travellers can expect some of the new routes as early as this April. The airline revealed that it will introduce its first non-stop connectivity to the Middle East on April 16th! With this new route, travellers can explore two weekly flights between the destinations. Additionally, the airline is expected to start flights to Shenzhen starting June 2024 as well.
Currently, the airline operates an extensive route network of more than 1,000 routes with around 3,000 daily flights to over 200 destinations in more than 40 countries and regions around the world. Through close cooperation with its global airline partners including American Airlines, British Airways, Qatar Airways, and Vietnam Airlines, China Southern continues to extend its route network to more destinations around the world.
