Creating an airline is a big deal, even if Mr. Ye doesn't ask, Xia Bingguo will explain everything clearly.

For example, running an airline, the necessary maintenance bases, and the requirements for opening routes, and aircraft requirements.

There are only three airlines in the world that can be ranked.

Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier.

The first two are well-deserved air supremacy, and the fact that some unscrupulous airlines like Bombardier can squeeze in is simply because the list is too small in the aerospace manufacturing sector.

Airlines buy planes, nothing more than these three options.

Airbus and Boeing are the most technologically strong, but they have too many orders. Latecomers often have to wait in line for several years to buy an aircraft, and buying Bombardier is not too cost-effective, and the company only offers small regional airliners.

It's also a good way to buy underperforming airlines and pack those used aircraft back.

Xia Bingguo has to answer all questions, and after asking these big questions, Ye Qing actually has many small questions to ask.

Ye Qing has done it many times, perhaps because of his professional relationship, Ye Qing likes to think about some common problems encountered when taking a plane more than ordinary passengers.

For example, why do passengers have to arrive at the airport at least an hour early, and even two hours before a first-time flyer can be assured?

This is still said that second-tier airports like Zhongyun City, like first-tier super-large airports, can only be guaranteed to board the plane by entering the venue more time in advance.

Airports are built in the suburbs, and it takes half an hour to an hour to get to the airport, and then enter at least an hour early, and two hours of time are wasted. For example, a passenger took a plane from Zhongyun City to Jinling, the provincial capital, and departed two hours in advance, but only flew half an hour to the station on the plane.

The distance to the airport cannot be changed, but can the time be compressed once the passenger enters the airport?

At the high-speed rail station, it is normal to arrive half an hour to 20 minutes in advance.

In these years, nothing is worth the value of time, Ye Qing now has a private jet, and wherever he wants to go, the plane has always waited for him. After the special car drove into the airport, there was no need for security checks, and it drove directly to the side of the Peregrine Falcon.

But the guys who own private jets in China are ten times rarer than giant pandas, like those working employees or private business owners, who even have very little time to sleep on weekdays, who wants to waste an hour or two on a plane?

This question made Xia Bingguo a little embarrassed, and he flicked the water cup in his hand back and forth, and explained: "Mr. Ye, this time is mainly delayed in the airport security check, and there are also necessary preparations before the plane takes off. ”

"Airplanes are not as good as cars and trains, and once they have an accident, it is the most serious plane crash and fatality. Therefore, every passenger's luggage must be checked one by one by our security check. There are so many security lanes, and most of the time passengers spend passing through the check is wasted queuing. ”

"Then there is the luggage of the passengers, and there is limited space in the luggage compartment on the plane. Passengers have to check in their large luggage, which requires queuing and security checks. Finally, these bags must be loaded into the cargo hold of the aircraft by a special ground staff and counterweighted. ”

"So just to check in the luggage, passengers have to give half an hour in advance to get all their luggage together. ”

"The rest is the ground crew, the routine inspection before the plane takes off, and the taxi into the runway after the engine starts and queues up for takeoff. ”

Ye Qing nodded.

Nowadays, many short-distance passengers prefer to take high-speed rail more. Because the high-speed rail needs to enter the site in advance, the security check is relatively relaxed.

The answer to the next question surprised Ye Qing a little.

Ye Qing asked Xia Bingguo, how many people in the whole country of China have taken a plane?

This question is not that Ye Qing is bored and curious, after all, Ye Qing has the idea of creating an airline. This airline is still mainly passenger transport, so it naturally wants to care about the proportion of passengers on airplanes in several major domestic transport vehicles.

Xia Bingguo told Ye Qing that three-quarters of the country's people have never taken a plane.

A ticket for a domestic route usually costs a few hundred dollars, and the airport feels always overcrowded. But 75% of the country's population has never been on a plane in their entire lives.

How to make Ye Qing not surprised?

As for the reason why I have never flown a plane, of course, it is not because I am poor.

Xia Bingguo explained that it was because there were too few domestic airports, and there were only 150 civil airports in China, with a population of more than one billion.

For people living without airports, the first choice for travel is, of course, trains or high-speed rail. It's not too far, and who wants to go to an airport one or two hundred kilometers, or even three or four hundred kilometers away?

However, as China's economic strength becomes more and more developed, the people's desire to travel increases, and the first choice for more than 600 kilometers of travel is still airplane.

For those who are fast-paced, you can arrive 20 minutes in advance by high-speed rail, but the high-speed rail will stop at many stations along the way. From slowing down, waiting, to speeding up the start, just two stops can offset the advantage of early entry.

Airplanes are usually non-stop, and once in the sky, the speed casually soars to 800 kilometers per hour.

"In other words, if the problem of waiting for the security check is solved, and there are cumbersome preparation steps before the plane takes off, the plane can depart as quickly as a high-speed train?" Ye Qing's thoughts began to wander, three-quarters of the people in the country had never taken a plane, how could this not be a huge business opportunity blank?

"Basically, yes. Xia Bingguo nodded.

In addition to the main flight delay factor caused by sudden weather, it only takes a few minutes for an aircraft to taxi from entering the runway to flying into the air.

However, for these few minutes, the ground staff and passengers have to prepare an hour in advance.

Everyone understands that further compressing the waiting time before take-off can attract more passengers, but the preparation time for modern aircraft take-off has been compressed to the limit, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough.

……

After personally sending Xia Bingguo away, it was almost noon.

Ye Qing believed that they would meet more times in the future, so he didn't politely keep him here to eat, after all, he was busier than himself.

Seeing off Xia Bingguo, Ye Qing lay on the office chair with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at the bustling Zhongyun in the window, and the high sky of the sky, a plane slowly passing by.

The problems to be tackled in the future are clear and concise.

In addition to obtaining the operation license of the exquisite aircraft, Ye Qing must solve the problem of difficult "security check" and the preparation steps before the flight. To compress the time to an incredible point, it is best to let passengers walk from the airport to the time when the plane takes off, just like the high-speed rail.

How hard is airport security?

All belongings must be taken out one by one, lighters need to be discarded, most liquids are not allowed, and cosmetics are strictly restricted. The most important thing is that when going through the security check, not to mention the time wasted, many people feel uncomfortable.

I'm a normal passenger, and you made me rummage through my pockets, and you made me pull my belt, and even take off my coat and shoes.

When checking in your luggage, you have to open it at every turn and check it one by one.

Some passengers bring things that the security inspector has never seen, and they have to spend time and words explaining what they are for. Some private items, even if the security inspector does not show his expression because of professional requirements, will inevitably attract the curiosity and contempt of the passengers behind.

Who can be happy with this uncomfortable feeling of privacy being violated?

This is also the reason why many people don't like to take planes, although Ye Qing doesn't have to go through the security check, he also hates these steps very much.

Strictly speaking, Huaxia's aviation security check is not too strict.

In the United States, which has suffered from planes hitting buildings, it is even more terrifying in the security check, and it is normal for people who are slightly unkind to be touched from head to foot by security inspectors.

So, how to solve it?
