About

China Southern Airlines is a major international airline based in Guangzhou, striving to become the Cantonese link between China and the rest of the world. It is well on its way to achieving this aim, currently operating the largest passenger capacity of any airline in China, with 750 passenger and cargo aircrafts including the latest Boeing 787 and Airbus A380’s. The in-house legal team is led by Chen Wei Hua, general counsel, and is well known across the industry for its performance and expertise. The team manages the company’s legal interests across several jurisdictions and covers a wide range of commercial issues and aviation regulations in this highly controlled industry. In the last year, the company has bolstered its intention of creating an international hub in Guangzhou by adding a second daily flight to London Heathrow, and has been involved in implementing new industry regulations and policies.
