China Southern to fly daily from Brisbane to Guangzhou

China Southern Airlines will boost its Brisbane-Guangzhou service to daily later this year. Starting in June, the carrier, China’s largest and one of the country’s “Big Four”, will increase its A350-900 flights from four to seven per week between Brisbane and Guangzhou, adding 48,984 inbound seats to Queensland from China per year. “China is one of Queensland’s most important inbound tourism markets, so the step-up to daily flights by China Southern Airlines is a big boost for local jobs,” said Brisbane Airport CEO Gert-Jan de Graaff.“We know visitors travelling to Brisbane disperse throughout the state, so we could not be happier with this news.” China Southern returned to Brisbane with four weekly flights in late 2023, the second of the “Big Four” to do so after China Eastern. The new additional flights will depart on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. China Southern’s regional general manager Australia and New Zealand, Jason Sun Zhixing, said the increase to daily services “reflects China Southern Airlines’ confidence in the route’s strong performance and its promising future growth”. “This decision not only responds proactively to robust market demand, but also represents a pivotal step toward fostering deeper development in the China-Australia aviation market,” he said.<br/>
