The launch of this route is a significant measure for China Southern Airlines to implement China's national strategies and the "Belt and Road" Initiative. It not only improves the international route networking of Beijing Daxing Airport and strengthens its function as an all-round gateway-type international hub, but also gives full play to the synergistic advantages of China Southern's dual hubs in Guangzhou and Beijing. The route will effectively promote exchanges and cooperation in economy, trade, culture, and tourism between China and Finland, and between China and the Nordic countries, injecting new vitality into the further development of bilateral relations.

The route is operated by the Boeing B787 Dreamliner. Initially, three flights per week will be operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and a daily service will start as of June 20, providing passengers with more flexible and convenient travel options. The outbound flight CZ8171 departs from Beijing Daxing International Airport at 14:55 Beijing time and arrives at Helsinki Vantaa International Airport at 18:35 local time. The inbound flight CZ8172 departs at 20:35 local time and arrives at Beijing Daxing International Airport at 09:40 Beijing time the following day.
