China Southern & Emirates Working Together for a More Prosperous Future

2019年1月31日，中国南方航空（简称“南航”，下同）与阿联酋航空在广州签署合作谅解备忘录和代码共享合作协议。双方还宣布未来将进一步加强商务合作，为广大旅客提供更顺畅、更便捷和更优质的无缝出行服务。

On January 31, 2019, China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “China Southern”) and Emirates signed a Memorandum of Understanding and a Codeshare Cooperation Agreement in Guangzhou. The two parties also announced that they will further strengthen business cooperation to provide passengers with seamless travel services of better quality.

双方计划，在获得相关民航局批复后，自2019年3月31日正式开展代码共享合作，包括双方同时运营的广州至迪拜，及南航运营的广州至福州、重庆、昆明、厦门、青岛、成都、南京、西安，阿联酋航空运营的迪拜至开罗、塞舌尔马埃岛、拉各斯、利雅得、吉达、达曼、科威特、马斯喀特的航班，共计18条航线。通过航线网络对接，南航的旅客可以通过迪拜中转至3个非洲城市和5个中东城市；阿联酋航空的旅客可以通过广州中转至8个中国城市。通过代码共享合作，南航将进一步完善在非洲和中东地区的网络覆盖，旅客可享受一票到底，无缝衔接的中转服务。

Under the plan subject to governmental approval, the two parties will officially start codesharing on 18 routes from March 31 2019, including Guangzhou-Dubai flights operated by both airlines, flights from Guangzhou to Fuzhou, Chongqing, Kunming, Xiamen, Qingdao, Chengdu, Nanjing and Xi’an operated by China Southern, and from Dubai to Cairo, Mahe Island(Seychelles), Lagos, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Kuwait and Muscat operated by Emirates. Through connecting networks, China Southern’s passengers can conveniently transfer to 3 cities in Africa and 5 cities in the Middle East via Dubai, while Emirates’ passengers to 8 cities in mainland China via Guangzhou. With the codeshare cooperation, China Southern will further improve its network coverage in Africa and the Middle East. Passengers can enjoy seamless transfer services without having to check in for connecting flights.

南航集团党组副书记韩文胜先生表示，加强合作是南航的长期战略。阿联酋航空是南航在中东地区的首个双向合作伙伴，我们很高兴与阿联酋航空缔结合作伙伴关系，这是南航构建新型国际合作关系的重要一步。代码共享是南航与阿联酋航空合作的起点，未来还将探讨更多领域的合作，包括货运、常旅客、休息室、机场协同等等。

“Strengthening cooperation is the long-term strategy of China Southern”, said Mr. Han Wensheng, Chief Operating Officer of China Southern Airlines. “Emirates is our first bidirectional partner in the Middle East, and we are very pleased to enter into a codeshare partnership with Emirates. It signifies a key step for China Southern in the process of building new international partnerships. While codesharing is only the start of our cooperation, cooperative opportunities in a wider range of fields such as freight, frequent flyer benefits, lounge access, and airport collaboration will be explored in the future.”

阿联酋航空战略规划、收入优化和航空国际事务部高级副总裁Adnan Kazim表示：“我们很荣幸能和中国南方航空建立合作伙伴关系。今天对我们来讲意义重大，这是阿联酋航空在中国市场与本土航空公司签署的首个代码共享协议。此次合作能让阿联酋航空乘客更加便捷和灵活的通过广州中转前往中国的多个城市。在合作初期，在阿联酋航空现有的北上广三大枢纽航点的基础上，新增的八个中国国内段航线将扩大我们在中国的网络覆盖。在进一步增强我们的全球航线网络的同时，中国南航的乘客将能享受到前往中东和非洲乃至更广阔目的地的无缝出行体验。”

“We’re pleased to establish a partnership with China Southern Airlines, allowing Emirates’ customers to benefit from increased choice, flexibility and ease of connection to different cities across China’s provinces, by connecting in Guangzhou. Today’s signing is especially monumental for Emirates, as it represents the first codeshare agreement between Emirates and a China-based airline. The addition of the eight domestic routes in the initial stage expands our reach in China beyond the three Chinese hub cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou,” said Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning, Revenue Optimisation & Aeropolitical Affairs. “In addition to enhancing our global network, China Southern’s customers will be able to seamlessly travel to destinations within the Middle East and Africa and beyond on a single ticket.” 

阿联酋位于“一带一路”的交汇点。与阿联酋航空的代码共享合作，是南航响应“一带一路”倡议的最新重要举措。迪拜航线是南航网络的重要组成部分，目前南航运营由广州、深圳、武汉、乌鲁木齐飞往迪拜的4条航线，旺季期间每周投入超过5000个座位。南航将坚定不移地建立和深化与“一带一路”沿线国家航企的合作，全力打造“空中丝绸之路”，推动互联互通，为沿线国家和人民之间的交往创造更大便利。

United Arab Emirates is located at the intersection of the “One Belt and One Road”. The codeshare cooperation with Emirates is China Southern’s latest response to the "One Belt and One Road" initiative. China Southern currently operates flights from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Urumqi to Dubai, a key component of its route network, with more than 5,000 seats invested weekly during peak season. China Southern will remain committed to establishing and enhancing cooperation with carriers in countries along the “One Belt and One Road”, and strive to build the “Silk Road in the Air” to drive interconnectivity as well as facilitate exchanges for these countries and their peoples.
