Aircraft
China Southern Airlines is seeking to phase out its Boeing 777-200s.
The SkyTeam alliance carrier says on its website that it wants to sell its four 777-200As and is now accepting offers. The aircraft are used on domestic as well as regional international routes.
No reason is given, although China Southern has been adding Airbus A330-200/300s to its fleet which it uses for domestic and regional international services. It now has nine A330s and has 15 more on order, according to Flight’s ACAS database.
