Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines is due to deploy its five-strong fleet of Airbus A380s on the Beijing/Daxing-Shenzhen link daily from June 1. If the plan is realised, the operation will become the first Chinese domestic service to be served using the Toulouse-built super jumbo. The upgauge comes as the carrier is currently transferring the rest of its network from Beijing/Capital to the new Daxing facility - from around the start of May, about 50% of operations will have made the switch.
