China Southern Airlines is increasing its Boeing 777 service between Australia and China from five per week to a daily service from this Thursday, December 2.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The increase coincides with the fourth anniversary of the airline's commencement of flights from Sydney to China, which began with three weekly services in December 2000.<\/p>\n
Flights from Sydney to Guangzhou will depart at 10:50 hrs (Australian Daylight Saving Time) for the remainder of the northern summer schedule period, which ends March 26, 2005.<\/p>\n
The airline's Thursday and Sunday services from Australia will continue to originate in Melbourne, then via Sydney to Guangzhou, departing Melbourne at 08:20 hrs (Daylight Saving Time).<\/p>\n
All China Southern flights from Australia arrive at the new Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport at 17:05 hrs (local time).<\/p>\n
The new schedule provides much-needed extra capacity between Australia and China during the peak Christmas-New Year and Chinese New Year periods.<\/p>\n
It also helps meet the growing demand for leisure and business travel between the two countries as well as providing additional B777 freight capacity.<\/p>\n
China is becoming increasingly popular with Australian tourists, with significant growth occurring in both package holiday programs and independent leisure travel.<\/p>\n
Business travel between Australia and China is also growing strongly, and Guangzhou offers not only a new and easy gateway to China but a major hub for onward travel to anywhere in the country plus an increasing number of European destinations, using China Southern's growing fleet of brand new Boeing and Airbus aircraft.<\/p>\n
China Southern's flights into Australia depart nightly from Guangzhou – five direct to Sydney and two operating to Melbourne, then on to Sydney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
