China Southern Airlines, China’s largest airlines in terms of fleet size, is increasing its frequency of flights to three flights from present two flights-a-week on Guangzhou-Kathmandu-Guangzhou route from September 5. It is also using 200-seater Boeing 757 aircraft instead of Airbus A 319 on this sector.
It began its regular direct flights between Guangzhou — one of the largest trading hub of China and Kathmandu with two flights a week on Mondays and Fridays from February 5.
