Due to the time difference, the time at the airport in London was determined first, and the departure time on the Xiangjiang side is 8:40 tomorrow morning. The Los Angeles side has not yet been determined, and the airline can only wait for the news to come over there at night, and the official ticket sales will be made tomorrow morning, while the ticket sales for the London route will start at half past five in the afternoon of the same day.

There are three flights to London every week, and the time is 135, and the time of return to Xiangjiang from London is still 135, but the time of departure there is 8:20 in the evening of London time.

After the announcement of the flight number of Xiangjiang Airlines, it has aroused heated discussions among many passengers who want to travel in Xiangjiang, especially the arrival of two Boeing 747-200s from Tokyo and Taipei, and after entering the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company for maintenance and inspection, they affirmed that the London route is only the beginning of Xiangjiang Airlines, and there will be more routes to open later.

Especially after the 20% discount on air tickets to London, these citizens really had such expressions, and they knew that after the Li consortium entered the aviation industry, the price of air tickets in Xiangjiang would definitely be reduced.

In the past, when Cathay Pacific Airways monopolized the Hong Kong Airlines market, there was never a discount sale. They have no competitors, and the passengers have no choice. While there are some other regional airlines that fly to Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific does not offer them discounts, and they do not do so.

Hong Kong Airlines has set such a precedent, if they do not follow the discount, their business will be very dismal, and the citizens of Hong Kong will be able to enjoy more discounts.

Although it was time for dinner, Zhao Wenhua and the senior management of the airline still did not get off work, and they were still making final arrangements for tomorrow's flight, and they must ensure that the first flight can take off smoothly tomorrow.

Zhao Wenhua admired Li Guangyu's foresight very much, and did not attach importance to Cathay Pacific Airways, but took down the most important Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, with which he could ensure that Heung Kong Airlines would not be controlled by others.

On the contrary, Cathay Pacific Airways planes have to turn to Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company for help in terms of maintenance guarantees, and if Li Guangyu is embarrassed by Cathay Pacific Airways in this regard, I am afraid that they will be even more difficult.

However, he knew that Li Guangyu would not do this unless he had to. Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company was established to serve all aircraft that come to and take off from Heung Kong and their airlines, which is also to serve the safety of passengers. The impact of the suspension on Cathay Pacific's services is too huge, and Hong Kong public opinion will also criticize the Lee Group.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Junchang, the crew members of tomorrow must be properly arranged, this time our maiden flight will definitely become the focus of attention of all parties, there is a little problem will be infinitely magnified, you have to tell them to pay attention to all kinds of details." ”

Wang Junchang said: "Don't worry, I specially convened a meeting, and I have repeatedly emphasized this, and there should be no problems tomorrow." ”

……

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, not only the senior management of Heung Kong Airlines came to the airport, but also many senior executives of the Li Group also attended the inaugural flight ceremony of the airline. Among them, Li Xuemei, Yuan Tianfan, Qinghong and Zhou Xiaoning all appeared here, showing the importance that Li Group attaches to airlines.

Naturally, reporters from all walks of life in Hong Kong are not far behind, and they have come to Kai Tak Airport for interviews. It's been a long time since they've seen so many high-level executives of the Li Consortium attend an event at the same time, and this time the executives of the Li Consortium in Xiangjiang are all here, which is enough to see the thoughts of the Li Consortium.

As a long-term presiding over the affairs of the Li consortium in Xiangjiang, Li Xuemei has become the subject of many reporters' interviews, and the other three executive officers are all relatively professional, only Li Xuemei has been the foundation of the Li consortium in Xiangjiang since the expansion of the Li consortium, so that the Li consortium can expand with peace of mind outside.

A reporter from Oriental Daily asked: "Ms. Li, today you Li so many high-level executives attended the first flight ceremony of Xiangjiang Airlines, I wonder if Li Sheng and Mrs. Li will come to attend?"

"We are committed to building Heung Kong Airlines into a world-class airline, and this time we at the Lee Group have taken this very seriously, and we have even ordered 60 aircraft for this purpose, and as long as these aircraft are in place, we will become the largest airline in Asia," said Li Xuemei. Naturally, Mr. and Mrs. Lee will also attend this event, and the airline is a very important part of our Lee Group. ”

These reporters were also shocked by the number of planes that Li Xuemei said, now Cathay Pacific Airways has less than 20 planes, the best Tokyo Airlines is only about 40 planes, and Xiangjiang Airlines has purchased 60 planes at one time, and the Li consortium is really ambitious.

A reporter from Sing Tao Daily said: "Ms. Li, I'm afraid that Xiangjiang Kai Tak Airport will not be able to meet the take-off of so many of your planes at that time, and you won't be able to line up on the flight, I don't know what you plan?"

Kai Tak Airport is too small and the expansion has not yet been completed, so the sudden addition of so many flights by Heung Kong Airlines is very heavy on the airport.

Li Xuemei said: "There is no need to worry about this, our airline's plane is not able to come back at one time. These planes will arrive one after another in the next year or two. At that time, the expansion of our Kai Tak Airport will probably be about the same, which will be enough to meet the flight arrangements of our airlines. ”

At 8:20 a.m., Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing and several senior executives together with Zhao Wenhua held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the first flight of Hong Kong Airlines.

Speaking at the ceremony, Lee said: "Thank you for your warm arrival and for choosing to fly with us on Hong Kong Airlines, we are still the same as at Kowloon Motor Bus and Hong Kong Telephone, we will try our best to serve everyone, so that everyone can be convenient and safe, and we will definitely be cheaper than their airlines." ”

These people present still have great trust in what Li Guangyu said, and what Kowloon Motor Bus and Heung Kong Telephone Group have done in the past few years is the best proof of this.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Li, you currently have two Boeing passenger planes, do you have any other routes besides the London route?"

Li Guangyu said: "This time, in addition to the London route, the other route is Los Angeles, and we have also set a time to fly directly to Los Angeles every Monday and Thursday, and it will take off at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and I think the airport is already starting to sell tickets." And our four Airbus A300-B4s will be here in less than two hours. Starting tomorrow, we will fly non-stop to Tokyo, Taipei, Bangkok and Singapore, once a day. ”

These reporters only thought that there were only two planes of Xiangjiang Airlines, but they did not expect that four planes would arrive today. It seems that Xiangjiang Airlines will still be a 20% discount, and they will have more travel options.

After dealing with reporters, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went to the plane to express their gratitude to these passengers for choosing Hong Kong Airlines, and at the same time, together with the flight attendants, they also presented them with souvenirs of Hong Kong Airlines.

Since ticket sales only started at 5 p.m. yesterday, only half of the passengers on this flight were just over half, and the interior of the plane still looked a little empty.

Due to time constraints, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing only stayed on the plane for less than five minutes before getting off the plane, and after leaving and running here, they watched the plane take off from a safe place with the Li executives.

Li Guangyu said to Zhao Wenhua on the side: "On the side of our airline tickets, the fares to various regions are sold at a 20% discount. If a company comes with us, you can continue to reduce the price for me, as long as you can ensure that the company does not lose money. ”
