Hold onto your passports, globetrotters! 🌎 A direct air route linking Shenzhen in the Chinese mainland to Mexico City officially launched this weekend, slashing travel time between the two hubs to just 16 hours. China Southern Airlines’ inaugural flight departed Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport on Saturday night, marking a major milestone in transpacific connectivity.
The new route – covering over 14,000 kilometers (that’s roughly 34 *Avengers: Endgame* marathons back-to-back! 🎬) – will operate twice weekly. It’s currently the only nonstop passenger flight connecting China and Mexico, offering a golden ticket for entrepreneurs eyeing Latin American markets, travelers craving tacos 🌮 over dim sum 🥟, and families reuniting across continents.
With booming tech industries in Shenzhen and Mexico City’s status as a regional business powerhouse, this route is more than just convenience—it’s a bridge for innovation and cultural exchange. ✨
