As Attila Tóth, Director of Aviareps, the carrier’s domestic representative, pointed out at the event, it is a four-star Skytrax-rated airline that not only offers 630 routes and 167 destinations within China, but also connects 71 destinations worldwide through its network of 146 routes.
China Southern flies to seven cities in Europe, with a particularly rich network in East and Southeast Asia, offering connections to Vietnam, Bangkok, Seoul, Japan and many cities in the Philippines. They also offer flights to major cities in Oceania, Australia and New Zealand.
No visa required for Hungarian travellers
