China Southern Airlines — one of Asia’s largest and most respected carriers — recently selected PAALER to upgrade the carpets in its VIP Reception Area and Priority Check-in Counters at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. This project reinforces PAALER’s leadership in commercial matting and high-traffic carpet systems, especially within world-class transportation hubs.
The airline’s previous carpets, sourced from another supplier, had been in use for just over two years. Under continuous heavy passenger flow, the materials began to show wear, pile flattening, and color fading — a common challenge for conventional carpets in busy airport environments.
During their replacement evaluation, the facilities team conducted a multi-brand comparison across both Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (SHA) and Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). They observed that:
Most premium retail stores at PVG and SHA — including internationally recognized brands — already use PAALER commercial mats.
PAALER is the exclusive carpet supplier for the China International Import Expo (CIIE) at Shanghai Pudong Airport every November, providing full carpet coverage during the globally recognized event.
PAALER carpets maintain colorfastness, dimensional stability, and superior wear resistance even after millions of footfalls, consistently outperforming conventional carpets.
These strong references became a decisive factor. With proven durability and reliability in two of Asia’s busiest airports, China Southern Airlines decided to fully adopt PAALER’s upgraded VIP carpet solution.
The new PAALER solution includes:
Engineered with premium fiber technology, enhanced anti-slip performance, and stain-resistant treatment to withstand rolling luggage, queuing lines, and continuous high-traffic use.
Developed for durability and comfort, offering:
Enhanced Anti-Slip Performance: Critical for safety in areas where passengers transition from polished floors to carpet.
These carpets elevate both safety and visual presentation, aligning perfectly with China Southern’s premium passenger experience standards.
This project is not an isolated success. PAALER’s matting and carpet systems are the preferred choice for facility managers who cannot afford downtime. Our portfolio includes:
Major Transport Hubs: Shanghai Pudong (PVG) & Hongqiao (SHA) Airports.
These installations highlight PAALER’s position as a leading
