China Southern Airlines
The largest airline in Asia by fleet size and the world's third largest. China Southern left SkyTeam, flirted with Oneworld, and remains unaligned. They move more people domestically than most countries have populations. The cotton flower tail is their trademark.
China Southern is the only mainland Chinese airline ever to fly the Airbus A380. It flew its first superjumbo service in October 2011 and its last in November 2022, so a China Southern A380 is now one for the history books.
