Broader Network Access for Travellers
China Southern Airlines will extend its “CZ” code on flights operated by Qatar Airways to 15 destinations across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, including Amman, Athens, Cairo, Madrid, and Munich. Subject to regulatory approval, the airline also plans to add codeshare access to flights between Doha and Chengdu Tianfu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.
Operational and Strategic Context
This development builds on the existing Guangzhou–Doha codeshare launched in April 2024 between Qatar Airways and China Southern Airlines. Beijing Daxing becomes the second Chinese gateway served by China Southern’s non-stop flights to Doha, complementing Qatar Airways’ and Xiamen Airlines’ daily services.
