At 11:40 am on July 10, flight CZ5327, operated by China Southern Airlines, landed smoothly at Hechi Jinchengjiang Airport, marking the opening of the Guangzhou-Hechi-Mianyang route.

After the opening of the route, passengers in Hechi can arrive in Guangzhou in about two hours without having to make transfers in other cities.

The route is the first time that Hechi has connected to domestic first-tier cities, central cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and international aviation hub cities. The opening of the new route will facilitate exchanges and cooperation between Hechi and the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, the Greater Bay Area, as well as the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration. It will also provide a strong guarantee for the construction of the Shenzhen-Bama Big Health Cooperation Special Pilot Zone.

From July 10, the route will be available every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Outbound flight CZ5327 takes off from Guangzhou at 10:20 am, stops at Hechi at 12:20 pm, departs from Hechi at 13:10, and arrives in Mianyang at 15:10, while the return flight CZ5328 takes off from Mianyang at 16:05, stops at 17:55 in Hechi, departs from Hechi at 18:45, and arrives in Guangzhou at 20:25.
