At 8:37 Beijing time on June 1, China Southern Airlines flight CZ6041 took off smoothly from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, heading to Frankfurt, Germany, via Urumqi. As the first direct intercontinental passenger route from Northwest China to Germany, the new route connects the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and the heart of Europe, establishing an efficient and smooth air channel between Asia and Europe. The launching of this route marks a breakthrough of Xinjiang's west-facing aviation networking.
The route is operated by a Boeing 787-9 wide-body aircraft, with regular service every Monday and Friday, providing nearly 600 passenger seats for round trips. The flight number is CZ6041/CZ6042. The flight CZ6041 departs from Guangzhou at 8:10 Beijing time, arrives in Urumqi at 13:10, and after a stopover, takes off again at 15:15 , landing in Frankfurt at 17:20 local time. The return flight CZ6042 departs from Frankfurt at 19:20 local time, arrives in Urumqi at 8:45 Beijing time the next day, takes off from Urumqi at 10:45, and arrives back in Guangzhou at 16:00.
