The newly added flights will commence on September 27, 2024, which will bring the air company's total number of return-trip flights to Guangzhou to 10 a week, further solidifying the airline's extensive network in China, the airline said in a statement.
The addition of three weekly services to Guangzhou is expected to play a significant role in further promoting economic and people-to-people ties between Africa and China.
Currently, the airline operates regular passenger flights to five cities in China, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Hong Kong.
