| Name origin | The name is descriptive: China Southern places the country name beside the region where the airline began, as the former Guangzhou Regional Administration of CAAC in southern China. The sources used do not give a formal naming statement, so this is a plain reading of the name. | The airline's name is simply a short English form of its Chinese name 中国国际航空公司, which reads as China International Aviation Company. It was set up in 1988 as the part of the former CAAC given the main responsibility for intercontinental flights. |
