Tianjin Airlines: The Southern Destinations, 2012

Continuing from the previous post, a detail of Tianjin Airlines's English-language website route map, showing the southern portion of the airlines array of destinations. Despite being a northerly airline, the airline has a strong presence in China's south, from Hainan Island to the mouth of the Yangtze Delta region. Like a classroom map, each province is depicted by one of four light shades, which includes Taiwan, although Taipei is not served.

Shenzhen Airlines Destinations, 2012.

Like Chengdu, the southern supercity of Shenzhen has its own namesake airline.

Unlike the posts from earlier this month, the super-dense city labels of Shenzhen Airlines's destination map are Romanized, but feature some interesting spellings, seemingly rendered directly from Chinese: Urumqi is transcribed as Wulumuqi, and Harbin is Haerbin. Like Hainan Airlines, the route network that connects these cities in not featured, so it is difficult to determine just how interconnected these cities are.

The next post will detail some of the southernly services, including an array of international flights to many of the capitals of southeast Asia.
