China Southern Airlines is seeking authority to operate new routes to Adelaide and Mexico City in December.
According to a notice released Tuesday on the CAAC's website, China Southern Airlines plans to start thrice-weekly Guangzhou-Adelaide and Guangzhou-Vancouver-Mexico City services in December.
Both routes will be operated by Airbus A330s, Boeing 777-300ERs or 787s, the CAAC said.
If approved, China Southern will be the only operator on the Guangzhou-Adelaide route, which will be Adelaide's first nonstop link to mainland China.
Currently, the carrier serves Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney from its Guangzhou hub and runs seasonal charters to the Gold Coast. Also, the Skyteam alliance member began service between Sydney and Shenzhen in January 2016.
The Air Transportation Department of CAAC is soliciting public comments on the application until August 2, 2016.
