Chapter 1667： Extraordinary Meeting

In this way, Delta Air Lines has basically completed its layout in the Asia-Pacific region, and only needs to improve market segments, such as Southeast Asia, Polar Bear Far East and RB's feeder market.

In order to better convey his intentions, Yang Cheng immediately recruited Delta Air Lines Asia Pacific President Venedub and CEO Bastian who was attending an industry conference in Hong Kong, and held an internal meeting in the Shilla Hotel. There are also Zhao Shangxi, who is about to be promoted to CEO of Korean Air, and senior management of Dong Airlines.

With so many big people present at the same time, the Shilla Hotel paid great attention to it. Li Fu~ really took time out of his busy schedule to pay attention to the preparations for the meeting, and decided to hold a dinner on the evening of the meeting, inviting important people from the Korean aviation industry to participate. Many foreign airlines The leaders of the company's branch in South Korea also received invitations.

Yang Cheng didn't expect that it was just a temporary internal meeting, which ended up being so grand.

The dinner party will not be mentioned for the time being. After Vinedub and Bastian arrive at the hotel, they will not be given any time to rest, and the meeting will start directly.

Yang Cheng sat in the first place in the conference room as her part, overlooking the audience. Among the crowd of East Asian faces, the Indian-born Venedubu was particularly obvious.

Naturally, he became the first object of Yang Cheng's question, "Let's talk about it first. As the president of the Asia-Pacific region, you are undoubtedly the one with the most say in this room."

Although Vinedub was temporarily notified that he had come from the Shanghai stock market and was not sufficiently prepared, this was precisely a manifestation of his ability. Through his assistant, he showed his hastily prepared ppt on the big screen, and Yang Cheng also found this The presentation is very rough, but this flaw was automatically filtered by him.

Vinedub stood up, the meeting room lights gradually dimmed, and the presentation began.

"In recent years, Delta Air Lines has been operating frequently in terms of its Asian route network layout and product launches. Even in just six months this year, there have been many actions related to the Asian market.

This fits with the Delta Air Lines headquarters management team led by Mr. Yang, which has been advocating for Delta Air Lines to become the world's best airline network connection and coverage carrier, and continue to improve the passenger experience.

First of all, I want to pay tribute to this great idea. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest plans in the aviation industry today, and it has been fully implemented. "

Yang Cheng subconsciously clicked on the corner of his mouth. This Indian is a bit interesting. The flattery is very good. Regardless of how rough the work preparation is, one word must be said, such as complimenting Yang Cheng's work as an executive director.

His words made several Donghang senior executives almost laughed. It turns out that Indians like to flatter so much.

But in the eyes of Zhao Shangxi, Vinedub has become a bit ugly, what's wrong? The grabbing of food is under his eyelids, so don't look too ugly.

Obviously, on the road of flattering, Zhao Shangxi has encountered a rival!

Naturally, Vinedub did not know what he said, which caused ripples in the hearts of the people below. He felt that the state was just right at this time, his thoughts were clear, and his inspiration was endless.

"In the last two quarters alone, news of Delta Air Lines' network expansion and product upgrades in the Asian market has been uninterrupted. For example, Delta Air Lines started flying the Seattle-Osaka route with Boeing 767 aircraft.

In addition, Delta Air Lines is also preparing to open a direct flight from Minneapolis in the United States to Seoul, South Korea, and launch a Boeing 777 passenger aircraft with new cabin interiors. The first flight is expected to be advanced to early November.

In the same period, Delta Air Lines will also use the newly modified Boeing 777 airliner for daily direct flights between Shanghai and Atlanta. The first flight will also take place in November. Passengers who book Delta Airlines daily direct flights between Shanghai and Atlanta You can choose from four different seats: Delta Premium Business Class Suite, Delta Premium Economy Class, Delta Comfortable Economy Class, and Economy Class.

For the first time, passengers on China-US routes will have the opportunity to experience four different seats on the newly modified airliner. At the same time, they can also enjoy more advanced cabin configurations, including large-screen seatback entertainment system, full-spectrum LED cabin ambient lighting, and on-board Wi-Fi -Fi, free mobile information and other services.

The economy class seat width of the modified Boeing 777 passenger aircraft reaches 18.5 inches (47 cm), which is the largest in the Delta Air Lines international fleet.

Similarly, at the end of December this year at the latest, Delta Air Lines will officially resume direct flights between New York, the United States and Mumbai, India. This route will also use modified Boeing 777 aircraft to provide four cabins for passengers. Seat selection. "

Yang Orange said, "Excuse me, it didn't take long for us to propose this plan. Has it been opened so soon?"

Vinedub immediately answered, "Yes, thanks to my identity, the communication with India is very smooth, and they are also very much looking forward to the return of this flight, which will directly drive the speed of Mumbai’s internationalization process. With the joint efforts of both parties, the plan has been advanced very quickly.

It could have waited until November to open with the other two routes, but due to the progress of the aircraft modification, it had to be delayed until December. "

Yang Cheng nodded, "You continue~"

"According to the plan, the latest generation of Airbus A350 long-range airliners ordered by us will be rolled off the assembly line in the next two years. After the modification is completed, they will be used for direct direct flights between Beijing and Shanghai and Detroit. Open direct flights to important cities on the west coast of the United States.

And this huge plan, relying on our own network is difficult to achieve full coverage, we must rely on partners such as Dong Airlines and Korean Air. Of course, Korean Air is now our own. Here, I propose that everyone applaud for Mr. Yang's wise decision. The joining of Korean Air will undoubtedly strengthen the strength of Delta Air Lines. The world's largest airline is no longer far away. "

Vinedub’s heart is not dead. It’s not enough to flatter yourself. He has to get everyone to shoot together, but he still can’t refuse. Everyone is applauding to show respect for Yang Orange. You are the only one who does not applaud. What do you mean? Is the decision to reject Yang Cheng not wise enough?

In a peaceful atmosphere, Vinedub said, “Since we bought 10% of Donghang H shares and 3.5% of the total share capital last year, the cooperation between the two airlines has become a historic one. New step.

Since the two sides launched a comprehensive strategic cooperation, Dong Airlines flights to more than 50 Z domestic destinations have been marked with Delta Air Lines flight numbers.

In addition, Dong Airlines and Delta Airlines have successively discussed and cooperated in many aspects such as optimizing flight connections, coordinating airport resources, joint marketing, strengthening personnel exchanges, and deepening business communication.

In this regard, I personally believe that similar in-depth cooperation should continue forever, because this kind of cooperation not only brings both parties a huge and not negligible local hinterland market, but also uses the fact that everyone is a member of the SkyTeam alliance. Basically, it also brings more possibilities to the global flight connection, network coverage, and passenger transfer between the two parties.

In addition, I have also seen that the two airlines have improved in different degrees in cooperation revenue, such as mutual sales revenue, passenger experience and business development. We can conclude that this is a win-win cooperation. "

Speaking of this, Venedubu asked the Dong Airlines management in a tentative tone whether to allow Delta Air Lines to strengthen their relationship with each other through a share swap.

In this regard, Donghang's attitude is positive and everything can be discussed.

In fact, Delta Air Lines has secretly acquired nearly 10% of the scattered shares through different channels. Of course, this matter will not be known to Donghang people, and this part of the shares will be reserved for use at critical moments.

"In addition, in the past year or so, our cooperation with Korean Air can also be considered perfect. The joint venture between the two parties in the trans-Pacific market has not only strengthened the partnership between the two parties, but also jointly squeezed out competitors. The living space of this market has been rising steadily.

With the success of this acquisition, Delta Air Lines will invest more resources in the joint business between the two parties. So far, the exemplary cooperation with Korean Air has directly enabled passengers to travel to more than 290 destinations in the United States and Asia. Seamless connection between more than 80 waypoints.

In the next few years, our goal is that Delta Air Lines and Korean Air will implement code sharing on more than 1,400 flights. The ground handling teams of the two sides will also cooperate closely to provide passengers with the best service experience and more Effectiveness guarantees the reliability of the aircraft of both parties.

In addition, according to President Zhao Sangxi’s suggestion, Korean Air will launch an in-depth development plan in the air cargo market. Currently, this plan has been highly recognized by Delta Air Lines management and is preparing to cooperate with Korean Air in the trans-Pacific market. .novelhall.com~According to our general estimation, with this acquisition, Delta Air Lines will rapidly expand to more than 100 destinations in Asia. If we add Delta’s self-operated Asian routes and other partners, It can almost be said that it covers most of the real demand and value markets in Asia.

This is something no airline in the world can do, but Delta Air Lines has done it!

If Delta Air Lines' Asian layout regards optimizing itself and leveraging partners as laying the foundation and building a building, then perfecting the market segment in the future means adding bricks and tiles and building a building.

The details are very important. In the next few years, we will pay close attention to projects such as the construction of the new airport in Beijing, the construction of the T2 terminal of Seoul Incheon Airport, and the reconstruction and expansion of Shanghai PD Airport. There are boundless business opportunities in this. Yes, Delta Air Lines is not allowed to miss it.

Therefore, I am here to take this opportunity to make a small offer to Mr. Yang and Mr. Bastian. The next few years will be a critical moment for the rapid development of the Asia-Pacific region. Please give us more power and more resources. I am confident Make the Asia-Pacific region the backbone and even the core of Delta Airlines. "
