离开天合联盟，南航保持深度合作

在去年年底退出联盟之后，中国南方航空将与天合联盟成员保持深度合作，并保持一定程度的联系，实质上几乎等于仍然是该联盟的成员。

China Southern Airlines will maintain deep cooperation with Skyteam members after leaving the alliance at the end of last year, preserving ties to a degree that almost amounts to de facto membership of the alliance.

这家亚洲最大的航空公司表示，通过双边协议，它将与天合联盟成员保持目前的代码共享安排。它还将继续与联盟中其余19个成员（除五个成员之外）进行频繁飞行方面的合作。在这五个例外中，只有中国东方航空是一级会员。

The carrier, Asia’s largest, said that through bilateral agreements it will keep its current codesharing arrangements with Skyteam members. It will also continue cooperating in frequent-fly arrangements with all but five of the 19 remaining members of the alliance. Among the five exceptions, only China Eastern Airlines is a first-rank member.

因此，这些安排至少在维持协议期限的前提下，极大地减少了天合联盟因南航退出造成的商机损失。

The arrangements therefore greatly diminish Skyteam’s loss of business opportunities with the departure of China Southern, at least for as long as the agreements are maintained.

一位了解中国南方航空的业内消息人士称，该航空公司仍在与一些天合联盟成员进行谈判，目的是保持目前的利益。

An industry source close to China Southern said the airline is still negotiating with some Skyteam members with the aim of maintaining current benefits.

南航于2018年11月表示将在2019年底离开天合联盟。这将使其与其他运营商建立更紧密的联系，包括拥有该中国航空公司部分股权的寰宇一家成员美国航空。

China Southern said in November 2018 it would leave Skyteam at the end of 2019. This would allow it to forge closer ties with other carriers, including Oneworld member American Airlines, which partly owns the Chinese airline.

在12月24日的未来安排声明中，南航表示将提供名为“南航优享”的服务包，以取代“天合优享”。南航的IATA航空代码为CZ。

In its Dec. 24 statement of future arrangements, China Southern said it would offer a service package called CZ Priority to replace Skyteam Priority. China Southern’s IATA airline code is CZ.

“这项新计划将确保公司所有金卡和银卡持卡人以及天合联盟精英及超级精英会员在乘坐南航航班时的特权都不会受到影响，包括优先办理登机手续、优先托运行李、优先登机和进入贵宾休息室等。”南航告诉香港证券交易所。

 “This new program will ensure that the privileges of all the gold and silver card holders of the company as well as those of the Elite [and] Elite Plus members of the SkyTeam Partners will remain unaffected when they fly with the company, including priority check-in, priority luggage drop-off, priority boarding and access to VIP lounges, etc.,” China Southern told the Hong Kong stock exchange.

保持深度关系表明，到目前为止，南航除了参与决策外，几乎没有离开天合联盟。除了保留少量代码共享交易外，它还显著地与当地竞争对手中国东方航空断绝了关系。

The depth of the continuing relationship suggests that China Southern has so far lost little from leaving Skyteam except for participation in its decision-making. It has notably severed relations with local rival China Eastern, apart from keeping a small number of codesharing deals.

离开联盟后，南航可能在与天合联盟以外的航空公司合作方面获得了很大的自由度，尽管可以想象，其与天合联盟成员的新双边安排可能会限制它这样做。相关细节暂未透露。

In leaving the alliance, China Southern has presumably gained considerable latitude in cooperating with airlines that are not in Skyteam—though its new bilateral arrangements with Skyteam members could conceivably restrict it in doing so. Details were not disclosed.

在声称要离开天合联盟之前，南航曾一再表示与寰宇一家成员合作的渴望。

Before saying it would leave Skyteam, China Southern repeatedly showed an eagerness for cooperation with Oneworld members.

该航空公司将与之保持频繁飞行合作的天合联盟成员包括：俄罗斯航空公司、阿根廷航空公司、欧洲航空公司、法国航空公司、意大利航空公司、中国航空公司、捷克航空公司、达美航空公司、荷兰皇家航空公司、韩国航空公司、中东航空公司、沙特航空公司、越南航空公司和厦门航空公司（部分归中国南方航空公司所有）。南航宣布不在此领域进行合作的公司有墨西哥航空、中国东方航空、印尼鹰航、肯尼亚航空和罗马尼亚航空。

The Skyteam members with which the airline will maintain frequent-fly cooperation are Aeroflot, Aerolineas Argentinas, Air Europa, Air France, Alitalia, China Airlines, Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM, Korean Air, Middle East Airlines, Saudia, Vietnam Airlines and Xiamen Airlines, the latter partly owned by China Southern. Those with which it has announced no ongoing cooperation in this area are Aero Mexico, China Eastern Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, Kenya Airways and Tarom.
