Shenzhen, October 2 (Xinhua) — As of September 21, since the launch of the direct passenger air route between Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, and Mexico City more than a year ago, 348 flights have been operated in both directions. The total number of passengers has exceeded 50,000, the Shenzhen branch of China Southern Airlines reported on Thursday.

The Shenzhen-Mexico City flight, covering over 14,000 kilometers, is currently the longest direct international route operated by Chinese civil aviation.

Of the total number of passengers served, 27,000 were from Shenzhen to Mexico City, and 23,000 were in the opposite direction. According to the branch, this route also transported 1,700 tons of cargo.

The route, which launched on 11 May 2024, is operated by Airbus A350 aircraft with three round-trip flights per week.

China Southern Airlines Shenzhen Branch CEO Yuan Jintao said the route helps Chinese enterprises explore the Mexican market and improve trade efficiency between the two countries. -0-
