If they’re not in your Fleet listing, they may have joined the Company from one of the other Chinese companies when they were all merged together [into three majors] last year or thereabouts?

That one is already delivered.
Looking on www.airliners.net it showed A321’s and MD 82’s and Boeing 757-300’s all authentic and it doesnt show any of them in my AFQR 2003

early 2004 they had 4 A319’s, 20 A320’s, 49 B737’s consisting of ‘300 series,’500 series and ‘800 series.
While we are talking about CSN (China Southern) i didnt know they had Boeing 757’s:confused: :confused:

The series 320 is becoming a common sight in Asia. Was china Southern operating 737’s or similar for their short-haul operations?
