China Southern Airlines is doubling frequency between London and China’s third largest city of Guangzhou this summer.
The airline will add a second daily flight from June 1 using a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Heathrow Terminal 4.
The new later departure from London will provide shorter transfer times to many of the airline’s network of 120 destinations in China, Japan, Korea, south-east Asia, Australia and New Zealand from its hub at Guangzhou.
The airline’s UK and Ireland commercial manager, Nick Newman, said: “Our mission is to make diverse destinations like China more accessible for UK travellers, so we’re thrilled to be able to add a second daily flight from London to Guangzhou.
“The new flight frequency brings our total weekly departures between western Europe and China to 41 and firmly signifies our continued expansion.”
