Fly high with China Southern

I'd like to deliver my deepest gratitude and sincere blessings to China Daily's readers on behalf of China Southern Airlines on the occasion of the Spring Festival.

As the leading airlines in Asia in terms of passenger flow, Southern Airlines has witnessed the transportation of 66.28 million passengers in 2009, with the frequent-flyer members - the Sky Pearl Club - reaching 7 million. I should say our carrier could not have grown so fast without the support of passengers and the trust the readers have put in us.

At the end of 2009, China Southern Airlines has accumulated 6.52 million safe flight hours, recorded 187 consecutive months of safe flight operations and carried 430 million passengers, breaking the record of safe operation in China's civil aviation industry.
