China Southern Airlines on 24 June began a new thrice-weekly service from Guangzhou (CAN) to Frankfurt (FRA) via Changsha

The route will be served by the SkyTeam carrier’s A330-200s and will face no direct competition. Frankfurt becomes the airline’s sixth destination in Europe after Amsterdam, Istanbul, London, Moscow and Paris. Fraport AG’s executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte commented about the latest arrival, “Today’s arrival of China Southern Airlines means Frankfurt Airport is also being served by China’s largest carrier now. The new connection underscores the attractiveness and importance of the Frankfurt hub – thus confirming the demand for our forward-looking capacity expansion implemented at Germany’s largest airport. With the addition of Guangzhou and Changsha in its global route network, Frankfurt Airport can offer passengers a choice of two new passenger destinations via Germany. We wish China Southern Airlines ‘always Happy Landings!’”
