Doha-based Qatar Airways has inked a code-share deal with China Southern Airlines starting in January 2020.
The agreement is the first step to strengthen cooperation between both airlines; Qatar Airways acquired five per cent of China Southern Airlines in December 2018.
The code share will enable China Southern Airlines’ passengers to book travel on Qatar Airways’ flights between Guangzhou and Doha and Beijing and Doha, allowing one-stop connections to more than 80 destinations in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
Qatar Airways first began flying to China in 2003 with a service between Doha and Shanghai.
The carrier now operates 45 weekly flights to seven Greater China gateways: Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu and Hong Kong.
