China Southern Air Holding Company Limited, or China Southern Group (CSAH) is a large-scale air transport group headquartered in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.

 

Centering on air transport and related services, we directly or indirectly control 10 passenger and cargo airlines, namely China Southern Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Chongqing Airlines, China Southern Henan Airlines, Guizhou Airlines, Zhuhai Airlines, Shantou Airlines, Hebei Airlines, Jiangxi Airlines, and China Southern Cargo, as well as China Southern General Aviation Company. We also hold an equity stake in Sichuan Airlines. While strengthening our core air passenger and cargo transport business, we are also expanding our business into the wider aviation industry chain, covering aircraft maintenance and manufacturing, general aviation, in-flight catering, digital technology, flight training and equipment manufacturing. As of December 2025, our total fleet stood at 1,005 aircraft, including passenger aircraft, cargo aircraft and helicopters.

 

Guided by China's supply-side structural reform agenda, we integrate our own development into the nation's new development stage. While serving as a major force in facilitating smooth domestic circulation and promoting domestic and international dual circulation, we pursue high-quality development with the aim to build a globally competitive, world-class air transport enterprise. Committed to safe, high-quality, innovative, cooperative and shared development, we implement a five-pronged strategy encompassing hub network development, ecosystem cultivation, innovation-driven growth, lean management, and brand building.

 

We are committed to delivering high-quality air services that boost regional economic and social development, respond to people's evolving expectations for travel, and strongly support China's major national initiatives. We strive to build our Beijing hub into a high-quality one to facilitate the integrated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the construction of Xiong'an New Area, while reinforcing our Guangzhou hub to serve the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the building of Shenzhen Pilot Demonstration Zone. At the same time, we are developing a high-level gateway hub in the west of China to support the Belt and Road Initiative, optimizing our network across the northeast of China to contribute to the region's full revitalization in the new era, and strengthening connectivity throughout the six central provinces to support the development of the nation's central region.

 

Focusing on strengthening core capabilities and boosting core competitiveness, we have leveraged scientific and technological innovation, industrial leadership, and rigorous safety management to facilitate company growth. We continue to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological innovation system, strive for greater self-reliance and strength in high-level technology, advance major aviation-related technological innovation breakthroughs, and promote effective industry-academia-research-application collaboration as well as efficient transformation of scientific and technological achievements. We are an active supporter of economic stability and growth. In 2025, we achieved a total transportation turnover of 39.06 billion ton-kilometers, a passenger volume of 174 million, and a cargo/mail transport volume of 1.958 million tons in 2025. Among these, the international transportation turnover, and passenger volume and cargo/mail volume reached 15.81 billion ton-kilometers, 21.097 million, and 0.94 million tons, respectively. With safety being our top priority, we have been driving reforms in the quality, efficiency, and driving forces of safety management. We have established seven integrated safety systems covering accountability, risk management, process control, regulations, training, safety culture, and technological innovation, ensuring the absolute safety of aviation operation and our passengers. As of December 2025, we had maintained 314 consecutive months of flight safety and 379 consecutive months of aviation security.

 

We are dedicated to building the "Sunshine China Southern" corporate culture for the new era, guided by our mission "Enabling More People to Enjoy Better Flights", our vision "Building a World-class Enterprise", and our core values "Safety First and Customer-Centric". We strive to achieve the goal of "Becoming a World-Renowned Aviation Brand" defined by "Reliability, Warmth, and Vitality", and positioned as "An Industry Leader". Actively delivering on corporate social responsibility, we have successfully undertaken major transportation tasks, including emergency rescue, disaster relief, and overseas evacuations, launched a public-welfare initiative featuring rural revitalization and supported the national Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality goals through green and low-carbon transformation, actively giving back to our nation and society.
