Chicken Tonight? Chinese Carrier Conveys Clambering Cheeping Chicks.

GUANGZHOU, China -- China Southern Airlines, (NYSE:ZNH)(HKSE:1055)(SHA:600029) - www.cs-air.com/en - the fastest growing airline in the world - continues another moniker as China's leading carrier in the safe, humane transportation of live animals.

The nation's largest airline is pleased

China Southern Airlines' Cargo Department is reporting a sudden and dramatic increase in the number of chirping chicks from the Pearl River Delta, "boarding" airplanes bound for domestic cities throughout China.

Because they travel in large groups, none of the chirpy chicks are eligible for frequent flyer mileage in the airline's Sky Pearl Club. Window seats are always available upon request O however no in-flight movie is offered. Age-appropriate in-flight meal service is available throughout all flights in the climate-controlled cargo cabins.

The average number of chicks "boarding" China Southern aircraft at the airline's Guangzhou Cargo Station - every day in Year 2007 - has risen from one ton to two tons O with the majority of the cheeping chicks currently carried to Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Shanghai.

After a remarkably warm winter, Guangdong's early Spring temperatures has been particularly suitable for chick breeding O and due to the fast rising temperatures, a large number of chicks in the Pearl River Delta hatched early.

Besides meeting the burgeoning Guangdong market demand, a great number of chicks are supplied to other domestic Chinese markets. As a result, nomadic chicks have recently been shipped en masse.

To guarantee 100% safe and humane transportation of all live animals, China Southern's Guangzhou Cargo Station has adopted a series of stringent measures in moving these feathered fowl, including:

* Proactively assisting cargo owners to book all cargo space in advance (traveling chicks must have reserve seating) and ensure they can fly in an oxygenated cargo hold;

* Place the transiting chicks in a waiting room reserved for animals and carry out daily disinfection of the holding area to ensure 100% cleanliness O and

* Guarantee priority loading of chicks by sending dedicated personnel to monitor the loading which insures the well and safe and timely loading of clients' transported chicks.
