Around the world with China Southern
GUANGZHOU – China Southern Airlines will participate in the latest Round-The-World airfare programme from the SkyTeam global airline alliance, adding for the first time extensive travel options to and within China.
“China is one of the world’s fastest-growing and most exciting destinations for both tourists and business travellers,†said James Liu, China Southern’s general manager, Australia and New Zealand.
“When we joined SkyTeam recently, not only did we connect our airline with a global network of quality carriers – we provided significant new opportunities for world travellers to include journeys to and within China,†said Liu.
The new SkyTeam Round-The-World fares offer travel with up to 14 quality airlines to over 840 destinations in 162 countries.
Fares vary according to the class of travel and the distance flown.
Up to three classes of travel are offered, though these are not available on every airline or sector flown.
China Southern, for example, offers Business and Economy Class travel, but not First Class.
“It is significant for both China Southern and SkyTeam that we have joined this prestigious alliance – and even more significant that our first major initiative within SkyTeam is to join the Round-The-World fare programme in the year of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games,†said Liu.
“We are the largest airline in China, serving over 70 domestic destinations, and we are expanding our international network,†he said.
SkyTeam’s full member airlines are Aeroflot, AeroMexico, Air France, KLM, Alitalia, China Southern, Continental Airlines, Czech Airlines, Delta, Korean Air and Northwest Airlines. There are three associate partners – Air Europa, Copa Airlines and Kenya Airways.
