Vancouver-Gangzhou Direct — It’s Gonna Happen
The Zhongnanhai blog is out with a post, entitled “Guangzhou’s immaculate Baiyun Airport to receive direct flights from Vancouver,” on how there will soon be direct flights between Vancouver and Guangzhou. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed on this last week to commence such flights in 2009.
Zhongnanhai then goes on to describe “Guangzhou’s luxurious Baiyun Airport” as “nicest big-city airport in China (not including Hong Kong International).” China Southern Airlines will be taking on this route from the China side, while Air Canada will, presumably, be making this trip as well. Vancouver is a great gateway to Asia because so many top Asian airlines go through there and the airport itself is pretty good, with (at least the last time I was there) a pretty good sushi restaurant. Back when the US dollar was stronger, I would often transit through Vancouver to and from Asia via Air Canada (good seats, clean planes, mediocre food) and Singapore Airlines (nothing need be said).
