China Southern Airlines’ New 787 China-Canada Dreamliner service begins

VANCOUVER - China Southern Airlines, the largest airline in the People’s Republic of China, is pleased to announce the start of 787 Dreamliner service between Baiyun International Airport Guangzhou and Vancouver International Airport - the first Dreamliner to operate daily service to Vancouver.

“Since China Southern Airlines introduced our Guangzhou - Vancouver service, we have been expanding our presence with more flights on this important route,” said Wan’geng Tan, President and CEO, China Southern Airlines, adding, “our 787 Dreamliner provides an even better experience for our business travelers and indicates our confidence in growing Vancouver aviation marketplace.”

Since its first service to Vancouver in 2011, China Southern has continued to grow its operations, increasing initial service from three flights per week to daily service.

"The introduction of the Dreamliner to China Southern’s daily service between Vancouver and Guangzhou route is a testament to the growing business traffic between British Columbia, Canada and China and validates our strategy to build Vancouver as a global Asia Pacific gateway,” said Craig Richmond, President & CEO, Vancouver Airport Authority.

He added that, “China Southern’s service connects British Columbia’s people, products and businesses with important trade and travel opportunities in China’s most populous province, Guangdong.”

A proud member of SkyTeam, China Southern’s new Dreamliner offers a luxurious First Class cabin experience with 27 inches wide seating, built-in 17-inch TV screen and the ability to convert into a fully-flat bed just shy of two meters long.
