Ye Qing got up again and rushed back to the headquarters of Skynet Airlines.

Because of Jianping Airport in Shezhou City, Hui Province, the distress message sent was very urgent, and the content had never been seen.

……

The city of Shezhou in Hui Province is located on the edge of the Yellow Mountain, known as the Global Geopark, where the average altitude is more than 500 meters, and the surrounding thousand-meter-high peaks can be seen everywhere.

A continuous heavy snowfall has turned the city into a different white landscape.

It has also brought huge trouble to the traffic of Shezhou City.

There is an airport and two railway stations in Shezhou City, and the railway station is fine, the railway is covered with heavy snow, but each railway station is equipped with a snow shoveling locomotive. Just a large bucket on the locomotive can clean up the entire railway.

This will cause some delays in rail travel, but compared to the airport, the railway is already a happy one.

Shezhou Airport is built in the mountainous area, even if there is no heavy snow, Shezhou Airport has always been the airport in the central and western parts of the Yangtze River, and the airport with the most complicated take-off and landing situation.

This airport does not even have an international standard 4F runway, because the wind often exceeds the standard, so there are also requirements for the type of aircraft to take off and land, such as large planes do not have the conditions to land at the airport.

Now that the heavy snow does not stop, Shezhou Airport can only be closed to the end.

Of course, the most affected by airport closures are passengers, especially now that it is the day of the Spring Festival. Passengers who come to Shezhou City for sightseeing, which one is not in a hurry to go home?

These passengers are not only domestic passengers, but also a quarter of them are foreign passengers.

Shezhou is close to the Yellow Mountain, and the fame of the Yellow Mountain is naturally needless to say, no matter what time it is, foreign tourists are indispensable. At this time, it is close to the Spring Festival, and many foreigners feel that they can not only see the scenery of the Huangshan welcome pine, but also enjoy the unique Spring Festival in China, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

It's a pity that Huangshan was blocked by a sudden heavy snowfall, and the scenery was not seen, and they were trapped at the airport and couldn't go back.

Shezhou City Airport has gone crazy.

Xu Qianyang, the airport manager, has been soaking in the airport for three consecutive days, and now on the only runway of the airport, there are not only professional snow and ice removal vehicles, but also many airport staff, using tools to clean up places that cannot be taken care of by machines.

Eight boarding seats, eight planes parked.

These planes are also surrounded by staff, de-icing and removing snow from the fuselage of the aircraft at any time.

But the heavy snow just didn't stop, and at the same time, the wind direction and the position of the runway were inconsistent, and it was a crosswind.

More than 10,000 passengers have been stranded at the airport, and close to that number are staying in hotels in the city. In order to accommodate the more than 10,000 passengers stranded at the airport, the local airport and the government specially organized more than 200 volunteers to give free boxed lunches, folding beds for rest, and quilts to the passengers.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation can be solved, but the anger in the hearts of passengers cannot be solved.

The originally clean and tidy Shezhou Airport has been turned into a vegetable market, and the exhausted passengers are simply looking for an open space to sit on and swing their luggage to the side, which is a temporary settlement.

"I don't want to hear your explanations, and I don't want to hear your free box lunches. I just want to go home and you tell me exactly when the plane will take off. ”

"The plane can't do it, so you can give me a train ticket." ”

"Why don't you arrange a hotel for us? The flight cancellation is obviously your fault, but you let us wait at the airport, are you reluctant to pay for the hotel room?"

"Coming to play with you is the worst trip I've ever had in my life, and I want to post my experience on Moments, so that everyone can see the unscrupulous style of Shezhou Airport. ”

Whenever airport staff tried to calm the passengers, they always seized the opportunity to slam the staff's ears with a loud enough volume.

Xu Qianyang, the airport manager, doesn't even have the courage to go to the lobby to reassure the passengers, because yesterday he was almost blocked in a corner by angry passengers. He could only hide in the airport tower and pray that the heavy snow would stop.

Of course, I didn't pray until the snow stopped, but I prayed for the documents of the civil aviation department.

From the very beginning of the inquiry, to serious criticism, and finally the industry-wide focus on criticism.

It can be said that Shezhou Airport has become a break point in the Spring Festival transportation link.

This evening.

The telephone in the command room of the Shezhou airport tower rang non-stop, there were news reports from various departments of the airport, and there were also calls from the outside world to question, and the airport manager Xu Qianyang answered the phone one after another.

The phone just hung up over there, and the worried manager Xu Qianyang hadn't had time to look at the snowstorm outside the window. The secretary hurriedly came over again and whispered in his ear, "Manager, Mr. Mayor has personally called for you to pick it up." ”

"Call again?" Manager Xu Qianyang's cheeks bulged, both aggrieved and helpless: "It's not over, what's the point of joining forces to bully me a little manager?"

"I haven't moved from the airport for three days, what else does he want to do, he wants to force me to death?"

"Manager, you are discouraged, the mayor doesn't understand your helplessness......"

The secretary said it well, but as soon as the manager Xu Qianyang answered the phone, the mayor didn't even give him a chance to speak, and immediately criticized him fiercely.

"Xu Qianyang, I don't care what method you use, the airport must resume operation tomorrow morning. ”

"Now we are famous in Shezhou ~ Spring Festival Work Leadership Office, today I called three times in a row, and just now the Civil Aviation Administration issued a document to criticize our Shezhou Airport. ”

"It's an irresistible factor of manpower, mayor. Manager Xu Qianyang's eyebrows were wrinkled together, and he shouted: "This heavy snow doesn't stop, how can you let me open the airport?"

"Is it important to be criticized, or is the safety of passengers important?"

"Come on~ Then tell me, why is it also snowing heavily at Jinling Airport, and people can fly flights?"

"Why is it snowing at several other airports in our Hui Province, and their planes can fly in the sky?"

"Mayor, you don't understand. ”

Manager Xu Qianyang argued, "There are many runways in people's airports, and some are divided into T1 and T2 terminals. The orientation of people's runways is different, which can just meet the requirements of crosswind and headwind take-off and landing. ”

"Our airport has a runway, and now there has been a crosswind over the airport, and I just cleared all the snow on the runway, but under this visibility, which airline dares to fly?"

"Which aircraft dares to guarantee that their aero engines will not be inhaled by flying snow, which will cause the combustion temperature of the combustion chamber to decrease and the thrust to decrease?"

Manager Xu Qianyang's argument made the mayor almost speechless.

Naturally, he didn't understand these professional things, but he understood better that it was better not to try to use airplanes to prove whether these theories were correct.

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

Then as soon as the phone hung up, the sound of the electric bell was remembered in the control room.

This time, it wasn't the phone ringing, it was the radio station.

Since yesterday at the airport, all the people have worked hard to ensure that several flights have taken off. So far, there has been no movement from the radio contact station all day.

After all, the airport is closed.

Many departments on the tower side were idle, and the manager Xu Qianyang asked these people to mobilize and go outside to participate in the work against ice and snow, leaving only the personnel in important positions to work overtime here.

Now there is a signal call.

"Call the tower, this is the Skynet Aviation Banshee 109 aircraft. ”

"We submitted a flight application before, and we wanted to land at your airport to deliver a batch of SF Express airmail, but the control has not replied to us. ”

"Please also control over there, send us the detailed weather information at the airport, and we will apply to land at your airport. ”

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

The liaison officer glanced at the control side of the snow removal and ran out of the shift, and then replied listlessly: "Don't come, the airport is closed, and now the crosswinds have reached the nineteenth section." Your kind of aircraft must be very average crosswind resistant. ”

Nineteen knots is a unit of speed, and how many knots are commonly used at airports to represent wind speed. The first section is the meaning of the wind in one hour, and the speed reaches one nautical mile, which is similar to the saying of the speed of the ship.

For example, the Airbus 320 aircraft, the maximum crosswind limit achieved by the test flight is 15 knots. If the wind exceeds this speed, the aircraft may lose control in crosswinds.

"It's just nineteen, isn't it?"

"It's fine after thirty-five verses. "The pilots on the Banshee 109 were speaking louder than the crosswinds of their airfield.
