Chapter 602

It's not surprising that song Changzheng can't say a word. It's just that the airlines have made some mistakes in choosing regional airliners.

At that time, the 50 seat regional airliner derived from the advanced light transport platform of Tengfei group had been determined and recognized by the domestic expert group, hoping to compete for orders of 14 regional airliners from domestic airlines.

As a result, several airlines assessed that the off-line time of Tengfei group's regional airliner was later than expected, and a large number of new technologies were adopted, and the maturity needed to be verified, so they were kicked out in the first round of audit.

Turn to look abroad, hoping to introduce a mature and reliable regional airliner model.

Here, no one criticizes everything. Even Tengfei group itself acquiesces to the statement of airlines. After all, the advanced light transport platform at that time was only a self research project of Tengfei group. Many things were not perfect and normal, and there was nothing to say if it was not favored. What's more, it was not the first time that the advanced light transport platform hit a wall. It had been in the air force and Navy before that Where was the army hit.

If those airlines can introduce a popular model, it is OK to keep the operating cost at a low level while maintaining the advantage.

As a result, I don't know which way the leaders of several airlines choose. There are so many regional airliners that they choose BAe-146 produced by British aerospace company.

An alternative model with less than 100 seats but four turbofan engines.

We should know that the maintenance cost of the engine accounts for more than 40% of the total maintenance cost in the operation of the aircraft. Because of this, airlines prefer the twin engine long-range airliner, because compared with other types of aircraft, the maintenance cost of this kind of aircraft is low and the efficiency is high.

This is also an important reason why when the aero-engine made a breakthrough, the boeing-777 and boeing-787 twin engine wide body aircraft swept the market, while the Big Mac A380 four engine large aircraft collapsed.

In fact, the maintenance costs of the two are not in the same order of magnitude.

The same principle applies to regional airliners. Dual engine regional airliners are definitely more cost-effective than four engine regional airliners. As a result, even the entry-level Rookies of airlines know this. The leaders of several airlines have ignored it without warning.

That's all. Four engines are four engines. The key is that BAe-146 regional airliner is not a best-selling product. The production and supply of spare parts are not enough. Even some key spare parts need special customization and are completely dependent on imports. This further pushes up the operating cost of BAe-146.

Of course, this is good. After all, when BAe-146 was introduced in the mid-1980s, the trade relationship between China and the West was fairly good. But by the end of the 1980s, the international situation was turbulent. Although BAE still performed its contract, it was still intermittently supplying spare parts, which led to the low availability of BAe-146 and once again pushed up the operating cost. Let alone the air situation caused by the failure Accidents happen from time to time, leading to the whole fleet in a semi grounded state.

From the introduction in 1986 to the half grounded state in the early 1990s, the whole process was only five years, and the fleet returned with a huge amount of foreign exchange naturally attracted the attention of many parties.

As a result, the leaders of several airlines withdrew, and song Changzheng took over as the general manager of United Airlines in this context.

However, due to the previous adjustment storm, their overall business philosophy tends to be conservative, and they began to tighten their investment in regional airliners, focusing on the operation of trunk airliners that can make a steady profit.

Anyway, the domestic aviation market is not perfect, many places even have no airports, and regional airliners are not very useful. Why bother?

What if a bad one is loaded into a pit?

Yes, the leaders of the last airline were really trapped. They really wanted to find a regional airliner with high cost performance. They chose a lot of models all over the world, but the price was not ideal. At this time, BAE came over with BAe-146 and offered it to the domestic airlines at a low price that was hard to believe.

After that, we need to say that cheap goods are not good goods, and good goods are not cheap. Although it can not be generalized, there are still some reasons in some aspects, especially in aviation products. The so-called "one cent for one cent" is really not just talking about it.

"Xiaozhuang, I can't say anything about this. You know that because of BAe-146, the right to purchase airplanes has been taken back by CAAC. You asked me to buy airplanes..."

I don't know how long after that, song Changzheng finally sighed, opened the skylight with both hands and said frankly: "I really don't have this power."

"Don't take it to heart, old song. I just feel aggrieved and say a few angry words."

Seeing that song's Long March became serious, Zhuang Jianye laughed. Just like what he said just now, he picked up the kettle and helped Director Song pour a glass of water. With a smile, he said, "I'm just fighting for the purchase of airplanes. I don't know if I succeed. We can't hurt our friendship, can we?"

Song Changzheng was a little stunned. He thought that who had just talked about such a serious topic, and that he had the posture of asking for a crime. He almost went to the central government to sue the emperor.As a result Just like that?

"I have a bad heart, Xiao Zhuang. If you have any bad ideas, just tell me. Don't be surprised and upset me." Song Changzheng didn't want to play roller coaster with Zhuang Jianye, so he directly pointed out the words.

Zhuang Jianye also doesn't care. He laughs: "you can't be the master of the whole machine, can you make accessories?"

"Accessories?" Hearing these two words, song Changzheng was just like AI activated by electric current. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Zhuang Er ~ ~ can you get accessories?"

"You can decide first."

"Yes, yes, that's great." Song Changzheng nodded like pounding garlic, then paid his body and looked at Zhuang Jianye like a chrysanthemum: "Zhuang ~ ~ where did your accessories come from? Is it original from Europe and America or imitation from Canada and Brazil? "

"Made in China take off!" Zhuang Jianye did not hesitate.

When song Changzheng heard the words, he looked up and down at Zhuang Jianye for a long time. Then he exclaimed, "did you make it yourself?"

"What? Still disgusted? Don't tell me you've got a lot of time to pick and choose when you're on a fast track. "

"No, I said Xiaozhuang, those things are not ordinary things. They are airplanes. If they can't be done well, people will die!" After hearing this, song Changzheng shakes his head like a rattle. You can't make fun of aircraft accessories. Even if it's difficult to import accessories and the maintenance rate of the fleet is poor, you can't fool around in this respect. What if something goes wrong?

Seeing song Changzheng's resolute attitude and what else Zhuang Jianye wanted to say, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. It was obvious that something had happened. After all, during the drill, Zhuang Jianye and song factory director looked at each other. Song Changzheng, who was close to the door, immediately stood up, pulled the door open, blocked up an officer and asked, "what's the matter?"

The officer knew song Changzheng and said anxiously, "a civil aircraft is out of order. We need to prepare for the alternate airport."
