Chapter 953: 933: Airports in Distress

Ye Qing got up and drove back to Skynet Airlines headquarters.

Because of Chunping Airport in Puzhou City, Huai Province, the information from the request for help is urgent, and the contents have not been seen.

……

Huizhou City, Huizhou Province, is situated on the edge of Huangshan, known as the World Geological Park, where the average altitude is over 500 meters, surrounded by mountain peaks that are kilometers high.

A series of heavy snowfalls turned the city into yet another white scenery.

It also caused tremendous trouble for transportation in Puzhou City.

There are two railway stations at the airport in Puzhou City, which are okay, with heavy snow covering the railways, but all stations are equipped with snow shovel heads. With a large dipper on the head of the train, the entire railway can be cleaned up.

This will cause some delays in railway travel, but this railroad is already a blessing compared to the airport.

Puzhou City Airport is built in the mountainous area, even without heavy snow, Puzhou City Airport has always been Jiangnan Midwest Airport, the airport with the most complex landing and landing conditions.

The airport does not even have an international standard 4F runway, as wind power often exceeds the standard, so there is also a requirement for the aircraft's type of takeoff and landing, such as a large aircraft, which is not eligible for landing at the airport.

Heavy snow is now endless, and Puzhou City Airport can naturally only close to the end.

Airport closures are, of course, most affected by passengers, especially now on spring luck days. Which one of the passengers traveling for sightseeing in Puzhou is anxious to go home?

These passengers are not only domestic passengers, but also a quarter are international passengers.

Huangshan is bordering Huangzhou. Huangshan's fame does not have to be said much. At any given time, foreign tourists will be abundant. Close to Spring Festival at this time, many foreigners feel they can enjoy both the view of Huangshan Welcome Pine and the unique Chinese Festival in Huaxia.

Unfortunately, Huang Shan was blocked by the sudden snow, the scenery was not seen, and they were trapped at the airport and could not return.

Puzhou City Airport is already in a hurry.

Airport manager Xu Qianyang has been soaking at the airport for three consecutive days, now the only runway at the airport, not only has professional snow removal and ice removal vehicles, but also a large number of airport staff, cleaning up places the machine can't take care of.

Eight boarding spaces, eight planes parked.

These aircraft are also surrounded by staff who are ready to de-ice and snow their fuselage.

Heavy snow just keeps coming, and wind direction and runway position are inconsistent, with side winds scratching.

More than 10,000 passengers have stayed at the airport, and those close to it are staying in various hotels in the city. To accommodate the more than 10,000 passengers staying at the airport, the local airport and the Government have organized more than 200 volunteers to provide free boxes of meals, folding beds for rest and quilts.

The food and clothing business can be solved, but the anger of the travelers cannot be solved.

Originally clean and tidy, Puzhou Airport has turned into a vegetable market, with messy, exhausted passengers, simply find an empty lot to sit on, put their luggage aside and treat it as a temporary settlement.

“I don't want to hear your explanation, and I don't want your free box of rice. I just want to go home and you tell me exactly when the plane will take off. ”

“If you can't make a plane, then give me a train ticket. ”

“Why not arrange a hotel for us? It was your fault that the flight was cancelled, but we waited at the airport, couldn't we afford the hotel room? ”

“To come and play with you is the worst trip of my life, and I want to send my experience to a circle of friends so that everyone can see the unpleasant style of Laozhou Airport. ”

Whenever airport staff attempt to appease passengers, passengers always seize the opportunity to bombard staff members' ears with a loud enough volume.

Airport manager Xu Qianyang now doesn't even have the courage to go to the lobby to appease the passengers because yesterday he was almost stuck in a corner by angry passengers. He could only hide in the airport tower and prayed for the snow to stop.

Of course, not until the snowfall, but the civil aviation department documents came praying again and again.

From initial questioning to serious criticism, and finally industry-focused briefings on criticism.

It can be said that Puzhou Airport has become a breaking point in this spring sports event.

This evening.

The command room telephone at the Puzhou Airport Tower kept ringing. Messages were received from various departments of the airport. There were also interrogation calls from outside sources. The airport manager Xu Qianyang received one call after another.

The phone over there had just hung up, worried manager Xu Qianyang, had not had time to see the wind and snow outside the window. The secretary hurried over again and whispered in his ear, "Manager, Mr. Mayor called personally to let you answer. ”

“Calling again?” Manager Xu Ganyang's mumps are drummed up, both grieving and helpless: “There's no end, what's the point in joining forces to bully my little manager? ”

“I haven't moved from the airport in three days. What else does he want to do to make me die? ”

“The manager quenches your anger, not that the mayor doesn't understand your helplessness...”

The secretary said well, but the manager Xu Ganyang answered the phone, and the mayor didn't even give him a chance to speak. He immediately cut his head off and severely criticized him.

“Xu Qianyang, I don't care what you do, tomorrow morning the airport must resume operation. ”

“Now that we are famous in Chunzhou, the Office of Work Leadership of Ha ~ Chun Yun, we have called three times in a row today, and the General Administration of Civil Aviation has just issued another document, criticizing our Chunzhou Airport. ”

“It's a force majeure, mayor.” Manager Xu Qianyang's eyebrows were all wrinkled together, shouting: “This snow keeps going on, how do you want me to drive the airport? ”

“Is it important to be criticized or is the safety of passengers important? ”

“Come ~ Then tell me, why is it that Jinling Airport can fly out when it's also snowing? ”

“Why are some of our other airports in Huai Province snowing so that their planes can fly in the sky? ”

“Mayor, you don't understand. ”

Manager Xu Qianyang argued, "There are many runways at the airport, some divided into T1 and T2 terminals. The runway orientation is different, just enough to meet the side wind and headwind takeoff and landing requirements. ”

“We have a runway at the airport, and now there's a side wind over the airport. I just cleared the runway of snow. But in this visibility, which airline dares to fly? ”

“Which aircraft can guarantee that their aviation engines will not suck in snow, causing the combustion temperature of the combustion chamber to drop and the thrust to drop? ”

Manager Xu Qianyang had an argument that kept the mayor from speaking when choking.

He naturally doesn't understand these professional things, but he understands that it's better not to try to justify these theories with an airplane.

After a few harsh words, the mayor had to hang up the phone.

Then the phone just hung up and the sound of the electric bell came to mind in the control room.

It's not the phone ringing this time, it's the radio station.

Since yesterday at the airport, all fighting has finally secured the take-off of several flights. So far, there's been no movement from the radio station all day.

After all, the airport is sealed.

Multiple departments on this side of the tower were idle. Manager Xu Qianyang asked these people to mobilize to go outside to fight the ice and snow, leaving only important posts here to work overtime.

Now there's a signal call.

“Call Tower, this is Skynet Air Queen 109. ”

“We previously submitted a flight request to land at your airport and ship a smooth shipment of airmail, but the controls have not responded to us. ”

“Please also control over there and send us detailed weather information about the airport and we request to land at your airport. ”

“If you approve, we can take off from Zhongyun Headquarters Airport in 10 minutes and fly to your airport. ”

The liaison officer glanced out of the snow control side and replied inexplicably: “Don't come, the airport is closed, now the side winds are at 19 knots. Your kind of aircraft must be very resistant to side winds. ”

Nineteen knots is the unit of speed, and how many knots are commonly used at airports to represent wind speed. One section is the wind, within an hour, at a speed of one nautical mile, which is similar to that of a ship.

For example, for Airbus 320 aircraft, the maximum sidewind limit for test flight is 15 knots. If the wind exceeds this speed, the plane may lose control in the side wind.

“Only nineteen? ”

“No problem without 35 verses.” Pilots on the Girl 109 are louder than the side winds at their airport.
