China Southern will begin flying the Boeing Dreamliner on its Heathrow to Guangzhou (pictured) route for the winter 2013/14 season.
The airline plans to use the 787 instead of an Airbus A330-200 on service, which runs three times per week, from October 27.
China Southern will also use a 787 on its daily Guangzhou to Auckland route from October 28. This service is scheduled to increase to ten times weekly by February next year.
The Skyteam member launched its Heathrow route in June last year.
