Frankfurt Airport welcomes China Southern Airlines

On Tuesday, June 24, China Southern Airlines (CZ) inaugurated its new thrice weekly air service between Guangzhou (CAN), China, and Frankfurt (FRA) – Germany’s largest aviation gateway and a partner city of this metropolis located in the Pearl River delta region of southern China. The afternoon flight departs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from Frankfurt at 14:15 local time for Guangzhou – with a stopover in Changsha (CSX), central China, a brand new passenger destination in the FRA global network.
 

Fraport AG’s executive board chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte commented about FRA’s new airline: “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!’"
 

On the new route, China Southern will operate Airbus A330-200 jets featuring a four-class configuration for about 250 passengers. Flight CZ 331 to FRA (CZ 332 in the other direction) will have a total travel time of about 19 hours for the entire Guangzhou–Changsha–Frankfurt journey.
 

At FRA, passengers taking flight CZ 332 to Changsha and Guangzhou check in at Hall D (counters 815-820) in Terminal 2.
