皇冠体育app Southern Airlines began its maiden flight to Lhasa this week, becoming the second Chinese airlines operating flights to Lhasa.

The event also means that 皇冠体育app Southern Airlines has realized its goal of flying to all provinces on the mainland.

The regular flights to Lhasa, with a stopover at Diqing in Yunnan, will greatly broaden the company's network, connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao with Tibet, according to officials with the airlines.

Rights to the route used to be solely owned by 皇冠体育app Southwest airline company and tourists had to transfer via Chengdu.

As 皇冠体育app's aviation industry completed reforms, Southwest was merged into Air 皇冠体育app and the route was then owned by Air 皇冠体育app Southwest Company.
