September traffic stays measurable

The September operating figures provide a current operating reference after the airline's first-half loss. Passenger revenue and profitability are not part of this monthly update, but the traffic data show the scale of the network: China Southern carried 14,433,720 passengers during the month and transported 173,080 tonnes of cargo and mail.

The passenger load factor was 85.85 percent, while the cargo and mail load factor was 54.64 percent. For the first nine months of 2026, the company reported 131,673,630 passengers and an overall load factor of 72.33 percent, according to MarketScreener.

What does the traffic mean?

The operating data point to continued passenger activity, but the latest interim figures put the cost base in sharper view. In the first half of 2026, China Southern generated RMB 94.7 billion in operating revenue, up 9.72 percent year over year, while attributable net loss reached RMB 3.7 billion against RMB 1.5 billion a year earlier, according to Futubull. Operating expenses rose to RMB 99.3 billion, exceeding revenue for the period.

Valuation and next date

On the Shanghai Stock Exchange, China Southern last traded at CNY 4.68 on October 20, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CST. Its quoted 52-week range was CNY 4.65 to CNY 8.46, while market capitalization stood at CNY 75.3 billion. MarketScreener lists the next earnings release for October 30, 2026.

For the first half of 2026, aviation fuel costs reached RMB 34.9 billion, up 37.67 percent year over year, while cargo and mail revenue rose 18.65 percent to RMB 10.8 billion. That contrast leaves traffic growth competing with a heavier cost burden.

Stock position and investor view

China Southern combines a September passenger load factor of 85.85 percent with a first-half attributable loss of RMB 3.7 billion. The next scheduled reporting date on October 30, 2026 will put the third-quarter operating performance and cost pressure into a fuller earnings framework.
