Alex Cruz, chairman and CEO of British Airways, said: “We are delighted to announce this joint business which will bring the UK and China closer together by providing British Airways and China Southern Airlines customers with a range of benefits. […]The agreement reinforces [British Airways’] commitment to boost tourism and business travel between the two countries and we look forward to strengthening the relationship further.”
