In the early 90s, Taoxian Airport was far less busy than it was later, with a white and green ultra-small passenger plane with black stripes parked alone on the airport's No. 3 tarmac against the backdrop of the vast and empty runway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The civil aviation passengers in royal blue uniforms look extra tall when they stand at the boarding gate located at the rear of the plane.

Liang Yuan visually inspected the small airliner with two propellers in front of him, even if he counted the wheels to die, it was only the height of three flight attendants.

"Wow, wow, it's actually SCHOTT 360, is this a surprise arranged by Xiaoyuan?"

"Hey, why is it a civil aviation logo, why not a United Airlines plane?"

"Xiaoyuan, when did you get the SCHOTT 360 back to China?

"Pighead, you are surprised by something, pretending that you don't know. ”

The two girls didn't board the plane, but stood at the exit of the boarding passage and asked a lot of questions.

In the aviation industry, Yuanjia's executives in Europe have collectively been fighting with Britain and Germany for more than a year, and even in order to deal with these two difficult goods, Liang Yuan also made a big news about the acquisition of Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong.

After the time entered the 90s, the Germans with ghosts in their hearts enthusiastically participated in the eyebrows of COMAC and McDonnell Douglas, and the tripartite of COMAC, McDonnell Douglas, and MBB were mixed together, and they were developing more and more in the direction of dry wood and fire rolling the floor, which pretended to be a tsundere British and couldn't sit still.

As early as half a month ago, the three parties, which had been arguing for more than a year, reached a unified consensus in London two months earlier than Liang Yuan expected, and the acquisition offer of the Federal Republic of Germany's CMB Aerospace to the British Schott Aircraft Company was also formally sent to the relevant departments of the United Kingdom and Germany for review, and in accordance with the laws and regulations of the two countries in the relevant fields, as of May 15, 90, if the two governments did not express their objections in the form of written notices, then CMB Aerospace's acquisition of the SCHOTT Aircraft Company would automatically take effect within the two countries.

That is to say, if there is no accident, in half a month, the pocket-sized SCHOTT 360 propeller regional airliner in front of the three of them will officially become one of the products of Yuanjia.

For visiting their own shopping malls and taking their own planes or something, the two girls have always been the most interested.

At the sensitive moment when CMB Aerospace's acquisition of SCHOTT was about to be a foregone conclusion, looking at the SCHOTT 360 passenger plane that suddenly appeared, the twins really thought that this was a trial item that Liang Yuan used the influence of COMAC to get back from Europe.

"Jiajia, Fei Fei, this plane is really none of my business, if I really get the SCHOTT 360 back to China, how can Aunt Ning let go of the opportunity to expand the United Airlines fleet, you two don't know, the United Airlines fleet is all BAC1-11, and as a result, not a single regional route has passed after the reorganization. ”

Because its fleet is all narrow-body mainline airliners, United Airlines does not have daily operations for flights such as Shengjing to Qinhuangdao, and the Schott 360 parked in front of the three of them was purchased from the United Kingdom in bulk by the Southern Administration of Civil Aviation of the Republic in the mid-80s.

At present, the SCHOTT 360 regional airliner has been in service in the Republic for five or six years, mainly serving the southern part of the Republic where the railway network is relatively sparse at this time.

However, the reason why this Schott 360 appeared on the route from Shengjing to Qinhuangdao is not only related to the internal changes in the civil aviation system of the Republic, but also has a certain implication with Liang Yuan.

In the 90 years, the dust has settled on the separation of the civil aviation of the Republic of China into six backbone airlines of the International, Eastern, Southern, Southwest, Northwest, and North, and the six major airlines will complete the separation of all the assets of the former Republic of China's civil aviation by the end of the year at the latest.

As the vanguard of the reform of the republic, located in southern Guangdong, the southern airline business thinking is very active, in the northern airline busy with the formation of the opportunity, the southern airline quietly will tentacles deep into the home of competitors, after all, in the civil aviation spin-off plan, the main base of the northern airline will be set up in Shengjing, in the early days of its establishment, the main route network of the northern airline is mainly in the three eastern provinces.

This SCHOTT 360 is the result of China Southern Airlines' use of the mismanagement and time lag during the successive spin-offs of civil aviation assets, under the banner of civil aviation that is about to disappear, to conduct a thorough investigation of the market and routes in the territory of competitors.

Due to the relatively complete construction of the Northeast Railway Network of the Republic, the passenger flow of regional aviation in the north of the Republic, especially in the Northeast region, is far less than that in the south of the Republic.

Of course, due to the unexpected rise of Yuanjia, Shengjing's air passenger flow began to grow explosively, and the Shengjing-Hong Kong, Shengjing-Wusong-Guangzhou, and Shengjing-Beijing routes opened by United Airlines successively evolved from one flight a week at the beginning of the route to another day in just five months, and then became a year-round daily flight.

It can be said that since August 89, the monthly passenger and cargo throughput of Shengjing Taoxian Airport has increased by more than 60%.

During the Chinese New Year, Tang Wan once talked with Liang Yuan, judging from the development speed of Yuanjia, Taoxian Airport has reached the peak of passenger circulation with a designed annual throughput of 900,000 passengers, and it will never be later than the end of 93.

In the past history, the second phase of the expansion project of Shengjing Taoxian Airport was started in 97 years, and due to the birth of Yuanjia, the mayor of Shengjing Fu Qili is organizing capable forces to closely monitor the passenger and cargo flow of Taoxian Airport, once it is confirmed that the passenger and cargo throughput of the airport has increased by more than 50% this year, then Shengjing City will officially declare to the state before the Lunar New Year to start the second phase of the expansion project of Taoxian Airport.

It is precisely because of the combination of these factors that the monthly passenger growth rate of Taoxian Airport has entered the top five in the country for nine consecutive months, which is also the most important factor for China Southern Airlines to sneak into SCHOTT 360 into Shengjing to open regional routes.

After all, the airport covers a limited area, and the effective service area is so large, as a service base, Taoxian has accommodated the main bases of two large airlines, leaving absolutely not much space for other airlines.

It looks like the three passengers who did not board the plane at the end of this flight suddenly stopped at the exit of the boarding passage, saying something from time to time in the direction of the passenger plane, and the China Southern Airlines hostess, who was still in the name of civil aviation, was a little anxious.

Could it be that passengers look at the plane and are worried about the safety of the flight, and then hesitate? Although the SCHOTT 360 is a little smaller, it is no different from the B737, A320 and other large passenger planes in terms of flight safety performance.

Seeing that the departure time of the flight was getting closer and closer, the pilot who flew this flight frequently looked in this direction through the side windshield opened in the cockpit, and the flight attendant of China Southern Airlines suppressed her anxious emotions in her heart, took a deep breath, and then waved her hand to Liang Yuan and the others with a smile on her face.

"Three ~~~, comrade passengers, flight CA711 to Qinhuangdao is here. ”

Although Liang Yuan and the two girls looked like standard teenagers and girls, the long black windbreaker and the metal silver-framed sunglasses sandwiched at the neckline of the windbreaker finally made the little comrade who slipped into the mouth of the flight attendant change to a more ordinary and mature passenger comrade.

"Don't stand still and watch, it's time for the pilot to jump down and kill someone. ”

Liang Yuan smiled and patted the shoulders of the two girls, and then motioned to the two girls with his eyes to pay attention to the captain who looked over from the cockpit of the plane.

"I can actually experience the products produced by the group in advance, and the beginning of this holiday is quite exciting. ”

"Xiaoyuan, the SCHOTT 360 is also propeller-driven, shouldn't it be the same as the air tractor we sat on two years ago?"

Obviously, after the Battle of Nansha was fought that year, Tang Wan fooled the three of them to Zhanjiang in the name of a special plane, and the two girls were particularly impressed by that long-distance air trip.

"How is that possible, you two don't look at the bloodline of the eighth master, how can you act as a tractor without a background in military aircraft. ”

Watching the three of them set off with their bags and laughing and came to the rear door of SCHOTT 360, the flight attendants of China Southern Airlines breathed a sigh of relief, and all passengers arrived and the flight could finally take off on time.
