Chapter 623: Low-cost airlines are the big market
What is a low-cost airline? To put it simply, it is a completely opposite civil aviation development model under the trend of more and more comfortable services and higher and higher fares of civil aviation companies.
They rely on the lowest company operating costs to provide passengers with the most basic travel needs is enough, what airline meals, small souvenirs and the like are not to think about, the seats are also as compact as possible, more compact, and even eager to learn from the bus to design outbound tickets.
Such a company, of course, has low operating costs, and the ticket price is also low, and it has developed rapidly with this as a selling point.
Low-cost airlines, by their very nature, are not likely to last long, just as buses cannot be transported across provinces. Most of the aircraft of low-cost airlines are short- and medium-range trunk airliners of the 737 and 320 levels, and even regional airliners.
Since it is trying to reduce the cost of flight, it is also essential to work the aircraft itself, and it happens that the current MPC75 is a cost-effective aircraft with operating costs and purchase prices.
On the one hand, the use of new technology in aircraft engines has reduced fuel consumption somewhat, but considering that United Passenger Aircraft is the first time to design a jet civil airliner, it must have paid some extra weight from the safety aspect, and with the fuel-saving performance of the engine, the extra weight paid can also be offset.
The reason why the aircraft can really make the aircraft more fuel-efficient and reduce the fuel consumption per unit is that the aircraft has a narrower fuselage section than the 737 and 320 aircraft, which can make the aircraft fly faster, or maintain the thrust required for cruise flight is smaller, anyway, in the end, it is for the purpose of saving fuel.
Yang Hui can think of this, and it is certainly impossible for low-cost airlines that are trying to reduce their operating costs to turn a blind eye. Therefore, it is not groundless for the Germans to say that European low-cost airlines are interested in the MPC75, which has the largest single row of 3+3 layout.
When it comes to low-cost airlines, there is another very important issue to consider: in order to minimize operating costs, unify logistics and maintenance. Most of these frenzied companies choose to unify all the types of aircraft in the company, and these companies have one or two hundred 737 or 320 passenger planes at every turn, and other types of passenger aircraft do not have a single one. It's quite extreme.
In other words, once the first purchase of an airline is obtained, as long as there are no major problems with the fleet, the company can almost be regarded as a die-hard loyalist.
The purchase share of low-cost airlines is often hundreds of orders so attractive, even if it is as strong as Boeing and Airbus, the two giants are eyeing this market, and Southwest Science and Industry needs to make more efforts to get a piece of the pie.
In any case, just now, the established low-cost airlines already have their own fleets, and it is almost impossible to get orders from these airlines. Even if there is such a heart, the MPC-75 can only compete for orders from the newly established low-cost airlines.
"This is a good direction, if we want to enter the medium-haul narrow-body trunk airliner market, low-cost airlines are a good breakthrough, I don't know what low-cost airlines are interested in our MPC75 airliner......
Since people say that it is intentional, it means that this low-cost airline is a typical newcomer, Yang Hui can't guess it for a while, but it definitely needs to be understood. If it is done this time, this order will be hundreds of planes!
At this time. The mysterious German also whispered: "This time, the other party we contacted was not strictly an airline, but an investor's investment evaluation team, who planned to acquire Berlin Airberlinusa (Berlin-USA) Airlines, and quickly entered the field of civil aviation. ”
BERLIN-American Airlines? This guy is quite interesting, just by the name, you can tell that this is an intercontinental airline that operates from the United States to Berlin. The fact that investors bought the company to do a low-cost airline business sounds absolutely incredible.
But that's exactly what happened, and the Berlin-American airline was quickly acquired after the merger of Germany in the '90s, and after the acquisition, Berlin-American Airlines was renamed the famous "Air Berlin".
Air Berlin. Germany's second-largest airline after Lufthansa since 2010 claims to be a semi-low-cost airline.
On the one hand, because they acquired the original company on the basis of retaining the original company's operation of intercontinental tourist attraction routes, but also vigorously develop the European continent inter-city point-to-point low-cost airline business, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a semi-low-cost airline, when Air Berlin became the second largest airline in Germany, the company also agreed that the reason why it can have such a rapid development is due to the development of the company's low-cost airline business.
At present, American Airlines Berlin has not yet been acquired, the new Air Berlin has not yet taken shape, and presumably Airbus and Boeing have not yet thought that Air Berlin will develop in the direction of low-cost airlines, and it is even more impossible to directly contact the German side to buy the acquirer of Berlin-American Airlines.
Seize this opportunity, if you can finalize the contract with the acquirer before this, it is a typical wooden boat, MPC-75 is not any problem in the next city, remember that the last A320 series aircraft purchased by Berlin Airlines is also up to 50 aircraft, such an order for MPC-75 is simply a shot in the arm!
I am not in the mood to continue to experience on the plane, for this about fifty or even more orders in the future: "Let's go, we don't need to visit it anymore, the day after tomorrow after the success of the first flight is when we are happy, now we need to focus on the positioning of MPC-75 in the low-cost airline business market in the future, I believe that low-cost airlines around the world will continue to grow and develop, and new companies will continue to emerge, at least not long ago domestic orders to purchase MPC-75 United Airlines company, This is the existence of a low-cost airline that coincides with the nature of a mistake. ”
Yang Hui has a clear view of low-cost airlines, and has a completely different view of the three-level cockpit layout of the MPC-75 from the beginning, which is a good thing tailored for low-cost airlines! Not to mention, after the 90s, it was the era of great development of low-cost airlines in Asia, and seizing the opportunity could even make the MPC-75 soar into the sky, and the 737 and A320 were a three-legged trend.
When he stepped off the plane, he happened to pass by a Yunqi 100 passenger plane parked on the side, which made Yang Hui fall into thinking, is this Yunqi still going down the old path? Although the last Yun-7 series passenger aircraft has had good sales after changing the vest and becoming the Xinzhou series, this is far from enough.
In the world generally into the jet airliner era, turboprop airliners have not been completely eliminated, this kind of aircraft will have its survival market, as for the new boat series often have accidents, just look at the same era, the same positioning of the French ATR-73 airliner to know, this kind of aircraft is typical dirty work, they are in the worst flight environment to work, if there is no problem is strange.
