EXPLANATORY NOTE

China Southern Airlines Company Limited (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1” or “Form

20-F/A”)

to its Annual Report on Form

20-F

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 27, 2023 (the “Original Annual Report”), to address certain

comments

from the Staff of the SEC in relation to the Original Annual Report. Accordingly, the Company is restating in their entirety the following sections of the Original Annual Report: (1) “Part II - Item 16I. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions That Prevent Inspections” and (2) “Part III - Item 19. Exhibits” in this Amendment No. 1.

This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the date of the Original Annual Report. Other than as set forth above, this Amendment No. 1 does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate in any way the financial statements or any other item contained in the Original Annual Report as originally filed with the SEC (including the cover page hereto). As a result, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect any events that may have occurred after the filing of the Original Annual Report on April 27, 2023. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Annual Report and the Company’s other filings with, and reports furnished to, the SEC subsequent to April 27, 2023.

As required by Rule

12b-15

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1.

PART II

ITEM 16I.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, KPMG Huazhen LLP served as our principal accountant, and issued audit reports on our consolidated financial statements.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions (“PCAOB-Identified Firm”). KPMG Huazhen LLP is an independent public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB that is headquartered in mainland China, and was therefore a PCAOB-Identified Firm under the PCAOB 2021 determinations. As a result, in May 2022, we were conclusively listed by the SEC as a Commission-Identified Issuer under the HFCAA following the filing of our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that it was able to inspect and investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022, and vacated its previous 2021 determinations to the contrary. Accordingly, KPMG Huazhen LLP is no longer a PCAOB-Identified Firm under the latest PCAOB determination.

Chinese governmental entities, through their wholly-owned entity CSAH, indirectly held and exercised the rights of ownership of 66.52% of our equity stake as of March 31, 2023. Chinese governmental entities have a controlling financial interest with respect to us.

The following table sets forth the current directors who were members of the Chinese Communist Party as of March 31, 2023.


Name	Titles within the Chinese Communist Party	Positions in the Company
Ma Xulun	Party Secretary of China Southern Air Holding Company Limited (“CSAH”, the parent company of the Company)	Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Director
Han Wensheng	Deputy Party Secretary of CSAH	Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Executive Director and President
Luo Laijun	Deputy Party Secretary of CSAH	Executive Director
Gu Huizhong	None¹	Independent Non-executive Director
Guo Wei	None¹	Independent Non-executive Director

¹	Based on the information available to it, the Company determines that Mr. Guo Wei and Mr. Gu Huizhong are members of the Chinese Communist Party.
