Bian Bei Airport, a lot of people gathered today. Everyone looked up at the sky, as if expecting something.

Just in everyone's expectation, an airplane appeared in everyone's sight. The black plane is particularly conspicuous in color, and there are two large English subtitles on the plane.

This sign is very familiar to the populace here. SF Express, formerly Longteng Express, but eventually became an independent express company.

The reason why the people here are familiar with it is because this is the only courier company that can come to Bianbei County except for Huaxia Post.

After the establishment of the Longteng express system, the Longteng Group in the western region is working hard. At the beginning, I did express delivery in the west, but I always lost money and did it again.

But fortunately, the product is profitable, so it is still profitable in general. After the independence of SF Express, it still maintained its original policy in the western region.

However, in the western region, SF Express has its own policies. The policy is to just don't lose money. If you don't make money, you need a cost price.

Over the past few years, SF Express has been remembered by the people of the western region. Now people in the western region will choose SF Express, whether they buy things online or send things.

Today, Bian Bei Airport opened for the first day. The first plane to land was the plane of SF Express.

The Airbus converted cargo plane, with the seats removed and the unnecessary trim on the interior, brought the aircraft to 4.2 tons of cargo.

At the same time, the doors of the aircraft are not the same as those of passenger aircraft. The hatch is at the rear of the aircraft for easy loading and unloading.

Although Airbus does not take away, SF Express is not an outsider. SF is eligible to purchase a cargo version of Airbus.

And the price is not expensive, SF Express buys the internal price, and one only needs 10 million yuan. Even if it is an internal price, the profit is as high as more than 5 million yuan.

Airplanes are not a rare thing for SF, and there are many large cargo planes in SF. But those planes are expensive, and one plane can easily cost hundreds of millions.

Airbus is small, but it's cheap. A big plane, you can buy dozens of Airbuses.

As for the volume of cargo, one plane cannot be compared, and ten or twenty planes together must be larger than the volume of cargo transported by one large plane.

At present, SF Express's largest cargo aircraft is a domestic large transport aircraft. Even the largest large aircraft carries only 65 tons of cargo.

And such a transport aircraft is purchased at a price of 450 million yuan. It's still a great price. At such a price, you can buy 45 Airbuses.

Together, 45 Airbuses can carry up to 189 tons of cargo, which is almost three times the volume of large aircraft.

In addition to these, it also has advantages in terms of operating costs. In addition to the relatively expensive fuel cost of large cargo aircraft, the maintenance is also unconventional.

Four high-power engines are simply oil tigers. Combined, the operating costs of a large cargo aircraft are even higher than the operating costs of 45 Airbuses.

And most importantly, the take-off and landing of large transport aircraft has high requirements for airports. Not as flexible as Airbus.

Now with Airbus, it is a tiger for SF Express. You must know that the domestic express delivery industry is now highly competitive.

Everyone is competing for freight speed, and several major express companies are also constantly increasing their own aircraft.

Previously, SF Express already owned 40 aircraft, large and small. And this time, SF Express is even more generous, placing an order for 1,000 freight buses at one time.

In the future, SF Express will continue to place orders to expand its air superiority. SF's goal is simple, to strive to be the first to complete next-day delivery nationwide.

In the developed eastern regions, next-day delivery can be basically achieved for SF. But in the western region, it is far from reaching.

Now with the cargo bus, SF Express can complete the project in the western region. In the western regions, the advantage of cargo planes is greater than that of cars.

Not only in terms of speed, but also in terms of operating costs, which are lower than those of cars. For example, now this cargo plane has flown from Shudu.

It took two hours in the middle, and the operation cost was almost 2,000 yuan. And if you change to a car, two thousand dollars is not enough for gas.

From Shudu by truck, the high-speed distance is as high as 2,400 kilometers. It took almost two days to drive.

The driving fuel cost and highway fee are added together, and the minimum is 2,500 yuan.

Low cost and high speed, this type of operation is particularly suitable for transporting small shipments.

Especially for online shopping, many things that are usually purchased online can be shipped by air. Appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, etc. are fine.

Unless it's a big thing, it's transported by truck. Therefore, the freight bus can basically solve the transportation problem here.

In the past, although the people of Bianbei also shopped online. But a lot of things are on the side of the shell for a long time. In particular, the goods sent from the east often take a week or even longer to be delivered to Bianbei County.

Even if the goods come from Sau, sometimes it can take days. In fact, such a speed greatly limits people's enthusiasm for online shopping.

In addition to online shopping, many things are also relatively expensive in shopping malls in Bianbei County. Because the shipping cost is too expensive.

Products shipped from the mainland must first be shipped to Sach. Then from Sa Cheng to Bian Bei County. There are still more than 800 kilometers from Sa Cheng to Bianbei County, and it takes almost 11 hours for trucks to travel at high speeds.

Transportation costs restrict product prices, and the price of cheaper products in the mainland will increase a lot here, which also restricts the enthusiasm of consumers here.

Now, everyone finally sees hope. The cargo plane interrogates and lands at the airport, enters the hangar accurately, and is then transported to the cargo terminal by the aircraft as a whole.

After arriving at the cargo booth, the rear hatch opened, and a small container with special characteristics in the engine room was directly pulled out as a whole.

This kind of container is made of aluminum alloy and is relatively light in weight. After all, for an airplane, if you can reduce a little weight, you can reduce a little weight.

The containers were pulled out and put on a dedicated pickup truck. The aircraft is transferred directly to a dedicated hangar for charging, cleaning and inspection, and the process is the same as for passenger transportation.

After the first plane landed, the second, the third, the fourth......

One plane after another landed here, and finally a total of ten planes landed. Six cargo aircraft, as well as four passenger aircraft.

These four passenger planes flew from four directions at the same time. The farthest is from a city 1,500 kilometers away.

This distance directly reaches the limit flight distance of the Airbus.

A range of fifteen hundred kilometers, a flight time of three hours. You don't need a special plane to go directly. Although it can not reach the easternmost part, but it can reach Sichuan Province, Yun Province, Guizhou Province and other places, if you want to go to the east, you can directly transfer the machine again, and it is very convenient to travel.
