The creation of an airline is a big deal, and even if Ye doesn't ask, Xia Qiuguo will make the doorway clear.

For example, operating an airline requires the necessary maintenance bases, as well as routing requirements and aircraft requirements.

Around the world, there are three airlines that can rank high.

Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier.

The first two are well-deserved air superiors, and some unprofessional airlines like Bombardier are able to squeeze in simply because the list is too little in the field of aviation manufacturing.

Airlines buy aircraft, and there are only three options.

Airbus and Boeing have the strongest skills, but they take too many orders. The latter tend to line up for a few years to buy a Bombardier, which is not too expensive, and this company only offers small branch passenger airliners.

Acquisition of poorly operated airlines and packing those used aircraft back is also a good option.

Xia Qingguo asked questions and answered them. After asking all these big questions, Ye Qing actually has a lot of small questions to ask.

Ye Qing has done so many times on the plane, perhaps because of his professional relationship, Ye Qing prefers to think about some of the common problems encountered when boarding the plane than ordinary passengers.

For example, why do travelers arrive at the airport at least an hour in advance, and travelers flying for the first time, even two hours in advance, are guaranteed to do so?

This is also said to be a second-line airport such as Zhongyun City, like the oversized first-line airport, in order to get on the plane more time in advance.

The airports are built in the suburbs and take between half an hour and an hour to reach the airport, then enter at least one hour in advance, and two hours directly are wasted. For example, a passenger flew from Zhongyun City to the provincial capital of Jinling, leaving two hours in advance, and flew to the station in only half an hour.

The journey to the airport cannot be changed, can passengers be compressed after entering the airport?

At the highway station, normal arrival is only half an hour to twenty minutes in advance.

Nothing is worth the time these days. Ye Qing now has a private plane. He has never been anywhere to wait for him. After driving into the airport, there is no need for a security check, driving directly to the falcon.

But a guy who owns a private plane in Japan is ten times rarer than a giant panda. Like employees at work or private business owners, he doesn't even sleep much on a weekday. Who would waste an hour or two on a plane?

This problem embarrassed Xia Xiao, frustrated the water cup in his hand, explaining: "President Ye, this time mainly delayed the airport security inspection, as well as the necessary preparation before the plane took off. ”

“An aircraft is no better than a car train, and once it does, it is the most serious crash. So for each passenger's luggage, we need to check one piece at a time. There are only so many security corridors, and passengers waste most of their time in queues. ”

“There are also passengers' luggage, and there is limited luggage compartment space on the plane. The passengers' large baggage is subject to consignment, which in turn requires queuing and checking. Finally, the baggage must be loaded into the warehouse of the aircraft and weighted by specialized ground staff. ”

“So the luggage item alone requires passengers to give half an hour in advance to gather all the luggage together. ”

“The rest is the ground handling side, routine checks before the plane takes off, and after the engine starts, the taxiway queues up for takeoff. ”

Ye Qing nodded.

Many short-haul passengers now prefer to take the highway more. Because high-speed rail requires less time to enter the field in advance, security checks are relatively relaxed.

Next question, the answer surprised Ye Qing a little.

Ye Qing asked Xia Kuo, how many people have flown in China?

This question is not boring and curious. After all, Ye Qing has the idea of creating an airline. The airline is still predominantly passenger based and naturally wants to be concerned about the proportion of aircraft passengers in several of the country's major modes of transport.

Xia Xiaoguo told Ye Qing that three quarters of the country's people had never flown.

A domestic airline ticket usually costs hundreds of dollars, and the airport always feels overcrowded. However, 75 per cent of the population had never flown in their entire lives.

How can Ye Qing not be surprised?

As for the reasons for not flying, of course not because of poverty.

Xia Xiaoguo explained that there were too few domestic airports, Dahua Xia, a billion people, but only 150 civilian airports.

When people live without an airport, the first option for getting around is, of course, a train or a high-speed train. If it's not too far away, who wants to go to an airport a hundred or two kilometers away, or even 300 or 400 kilometers away?

However, with the growing economic strength of Huaxia, the people's desire to travel more than 600 kilometres, preferably by plane.

Fast-paced people can arrive twenty minutes early by high-speed rail, but high-speed rail stops all the way through. From slowing down, waiting, to moving faster, it takes just two stops to offset the advantages of advance entry.

Aircraft are usually direct, and as soon as they fly into the sky, the speed soars to 800 km/h.

“In other words, if the problem of waiting for security clearance is solved, and there are cumbersome pre departure steps for the aircraft, can the aircraft leave as quickly as a high-speed train?” Ye Qing's thoughts began to wander. Three quarters of the country's people have never flown before. Why is this not a huge, blank business opportunity?

“Basically.” Xia Xiaoguo nodded.

In addition to the most important late flight factors due to sudden weather events, an aircraft actually takes only a few minutes from slipping into the runway to flying into the air.

However, for these minutes, ground crews may prepare one hour in advance.

Everyone understands that further compressing the waiting time before take-off will attract more passengers, but modern plane take-off preparation times have been compressed to their limits and there can be no breakthrough.

……

It was almost noon after the personal removal of Xia Qianguo.

Ye Qing believed that they would meet more times in the future, and did not keep him here for dinner in a very courteous manner. After all, he was busier than himself.

He sent Xia Qinguo away, Ye Qingqing lay on his office chair with Jiro's legs curled. He gazed at the bustling middle cloud of the window, and at the sky's height, which slowly paddled a plane.

The issues to be overcome in the future are clear and concise.

In addition to the need to obtain operating permits for sophisticated aircraft, Ye Qing must address the issue of “security checks" and pre-flight preparation steps. Compress time to an incredible level, preferably from the time you walk into the airport to the time you take off the plane, just like the high-speed train.

How hard is airport security?

All passengers' belongings must be taken out, lighters must be thrown away, most liquids cannot be carried, and cosmetics are severely restricted. Most importantly, many people are uncomfortable when they pass security checks, not to mention the time wasted.

I'm a normal passenger, and you let me flip my pockets, and you let me smoke my belt, and even take off my coat and shoes.

When checking luggage, open the luggage if it is immobile, and double-check one piece.

Some passengers carry things that the security inspectors have not seen and take time to explain his purpose. Some privacy items, even if the security inspectors do not show their faces due to professional requirements, inevitably attract the curiosity and contempt of the passengers behind them.

Who would be happy to feel this sense of privacy being violated?

This is also why many people don't like flying. Ye Qing doesn't have to go through security checks, but she also hates these steps very much.

Strictly speaking, aviation safety checks in Huaxia are not too strict.

In the United States, which had been hit by an airplane in the building, it was normal to be touched from head to toe by security inspectors in order to inspect a more frightening, slightly less good-looking person.

So, how?
