China Southern Airlines’s new direct London services will rise to daily in October, following the “successful” launch of the Canton Route in June.
The upping of the three times weekly service comes on the back of strong passenger loads on the new route, according to regional general manager Australia/New Zealand Henry He.
“We’re thrilled with the response we’ve received from Australians travelling on our new Canton Route to the UK,” he said.
“With a three-hour stopover in Guangzhou, the Canton Route takes as little as 26 hours to connect Melbourne and Sydney with London, while providing a more direct route.”
The increase will take China Southern’s services to Europe to 21 direct weekly.
