Emirates has announced that it is to further expand its network to the east with new flights to Guangzhou, China.
The city in south-eastern China will be incorporated into the Emirates portfolio from 1 July this year.
It will be the fourth Chinese destination served by the Dubai-based airline, after Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong.
The non-stop flights, which will act as a connection to China for travellers from Europe, will be available four times a week.

'Guangzhou is a vital link in our strategic plans for both China and the Asia-Pacific region,' he said.
'Guangzhou serves as an air travel hub for Guangdong and the South China provinces which significantly expands our span and reach.'
