The new route will be the first between the UK and Guangzhou and is expected to boost trade. More than 25% of all global economic growth over the next five years is expected to come from China and Guangzhou is the country?s third largest city. A recent report by Frontier Economics found that UK businesses trade 20 times as much with Emerging Market destinations that have a direct daily flight to the UK as they do with those countries that do not.
