China Southern Airlines has extended its service on the popular Beijing Daxing to Istanbul route. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner will now operate until October 2025. Initially planned to run only through May, the extension reflects China Southern’s focus on meeting the growing travel demand between China and Turkey. This decision strengthens the link between Asia and Europe.

The Dreamliner will operate three times a week, offering greater comfort and efficiency. The aircraft features a modern design with quieter cabins, larger windows, and improved air pressure and humidity. It replaces the older Airbus A330-300, providing travelers with a smoother and more pleasant flying experience.

Flights will follow a consistent schedule throughout the extended summer season. The Beijing departure time is set at 00:30, and the return flight leaves Istanbul at 16:00. The route operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, ensuring flexibility. The Boeing 787-9’s long-range capabilities make it ideal for the 8,000-kilometer journey between the two cities.

China Southern Airlines’ extension of this service highlights its efforts to enhance international connectivity. Istanbul’s central location makes it an excellent hub for onward travel to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The extended service will boost tourism and trade between China and Turkey, following the global recovery in travel.

China Southern Airlines continues to focus on fleet modernization, improved customer service, and international growth. These efforts help the airline maintain its leadership in global aviation and offer a top choice for international travelers.
