China Southern Airlines has decided not to renew its contract with SkyTeam, the global airline alliance, as of 1 January 2019.
China Southern’s decision reflects its strategic development, the changing trends of the global aviation industry and the evolution of alliances.
SkyTeam and China Southern have agreed to work closely together to ensure a seamless transition for all customers and partners. That process will run throughout 2019 and will complete by the year-end.
