BEIJING, July 18 (InfoChina) – China Southern Airlines (NYSE: ZNH, HK: 1055, SH: 600029) will open a new route from Shanghai to Cebu, the Philippines, on July 27, which will be the company’s third route to the Philippines after those from Guangzhou to Manila and from Beijing to Manila with stopover at Xiamen.
Cebu is a well-known tourist place in the Philippines.
China Southern’s bold move to open the Shanghai-Cebu route indicates that the carrier pays much attention to the travel market between China’s Yangtze River Delta with Shanghai as core and Southeast Asia. (Edited by Lin Fanjing,
