The unit operates a self-owned fleet of about 19 Boeing 777F aircraft and has placed orders for 5 Boeing 777-8F freighters, becoming the first mainland Chinese customer for that type, alongside 2 additional 777F, with deliveries running through the early 2030s.

Why isn't my China Southern Airlines air cargo updating?
China Southern Airlines tracking reflects what the carrier and flight feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as uplift or arrival) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for China Southern Airlines shipments?
Panvaya combines China Southern Airlines's schedule with live flight position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
