Starting June 24, China’s largest air carrier flies thrice weekly from Frankfurt to Guangzhou.
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.
