The increase coincides with the fourth anniversary of the airline's commencement of flights from Sydney to China, which began with three weekly services in December 2000. Effective November 5th, China Southern will add a fifth weekly Boeing 777-200 flight from Sydney to Guangzhou, departing every Friday at 10:50 hours (Australian Daylight Saving Time). This will increase to a daily Sydney service starting December 2 for the remainder of the northern summer schedule period, which ends March 26, 2005. The airline's Thursday and Sunday services from Australia will continue to originate in Melbourne, then via Sydney to Guangzhou, departing Melbourne at 08:20 hours (Daylight Saving Time). All China Southern flights from Australia will arrive at the new Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport at 17:05 hours (local time), connecting seamlessly with onward services to dozens of destinations throughout China, including Beijing and Shanghai. The new schedule would provide much-needed extra capacity between Australia and China during the peak Christmas/New Year and Chinese New Year periods and it will ... help meet the growing demand for leisure and business travel between the two countries as well as provide additional 777 freight capacity.

The airline was started by a group of businessmen led by Andres Soriano, hailed as one of the Philippines' leading industrialists at the time. The airline’s first flight was made on March 15, 1941 with a single Beech Model 18 NPC-54 aircraft, which started its daily services between Manila (from Nielson Field) and Baguio, later to expand with larger aircraft such as the DC-3 and Vickers Viscount. Notably Philippine Airlines leased Japan Airlines their first aircraft, a DC-3 named "Kinsei". On July 31, 1946, a chartered Philippine Airlines DC-4 ferried 40 American servicemen to Oakland,California from Nielson Airport in Makati City with stops in Guam, Wake Island, Johnston Atoll and Honolulu, Hawaii, making PAL the first Asian airline to cross the Pacific Ocean. A regular service between Manila and San Francisco was started in December. It was during this year that the airline was designated as the Philippines flag carrier.
