China Southern Airlines re-launches service to six international cities

China Southern Airlines has announced it is to re-launch its services from Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou and three major cities in China to major markets throughout Southeast Asia.

"These flights had been temporarily halted due to the recent SARS outbreak and we are pleased to 're-launch' service to these important business and leisure destinations," said Mr. Wang Changshun, President China Southern Airlines. He added that, "putting our network back together is much more complicated than just putting planes on the tarmac. We are diligently and intelligently working to bring China's largest airline back to many of the major markets we have served for years."

Mr. Wang announced that China Southern Airlines has resumed twice weekly service from Xiamen to Kuala Lumpur (CZ Flight # 349 & 350) and twice weekly from Guangzhou to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (CZ Flight # 367 & 368).

In addition, starting today, China Southern Airlines will operate three weekly flights from Shantou to Hong Kong (CZ Flight #311 & 312); twice weekly starting July 1st from Sanya to Hong Kong (CZ Flight #3029 & 3030); twice weekly on July 12 from Shantou to Bangkok (CZ Flight #375 & 376) and five weekly flights starting July 14 from Guangzhou to Seoul (CZ Flight # 337 & 338).
