Chapter 346 Civil Aviation Conference

The annual output of 3000 sets can basically meet the demand of domestic airlines. That is to say, if Dongchen only produces dc11 as an aircraft engine in the early stage, all 737 and 320 series aircraft in China can be changed within one year, which is of great significance to domestic airlines.

The biggest competition of airlines comes from domestic routes. First of all, there are too many ways for domestic route travelers to choose, and now the high-speed railway in China is more and more developed. In short and medium-term travel, high-speed railway is much more convenient than aircraft in terms of punctuality, convenience, price and time, which leads to the majority of domestic airlines in short and medium-term routes On the extreme lack of competitiveness, very low profits.

If the medium and short-range aircraft can be replaced with dc11, then the profits of domestic airlines can be greatly improved. At that time, they can reduce the price and increase the seat rate on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can ensure that the unit transportation profit is significantly higher than before. The popularity of the whole civil aviation will be opened in a large area in a short time.

Since the government has issued the airworthiness certificate to dc11, the biggest problem now is how to allocate the immediate order from Dongchen. The leaders of the present airlines have put forward their own purchase intention. The largest purchase volume is China Southern Airlines, with a total order number of 730, which can replace more than 300 Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, and the order number of China Eastern Airlines is 700, They have more than 200 A320 and more than 100 Boeing 737, covering all domestic routes. In addition to more than 200 foreign airlines, more than 200 HNA airlines, as well as small airlines such as Qilu airlines and Sichuan Airlines, they are also interested in ordering dozens or dozens of sets

The scale and order quantity of major airlines are different, so even if the production capacity is equally divided, it is very unfair for large airlines. Under the condition of equally divided production capacity, small airlines can complete the replacement of all medium and short-range aircrafts faster, and the overall profitability is improved. However, large airlines tend to have hundreds of large aircrafts, and the replacement cycle is too long. See The effect is also very slow.

It's difficult for CAAC people to have a way to satisfy everyone after many negotiations. Small airlines want to be able to distribute production capacity equally according to the number of companies they order, while large airlines want to distribute production capacity at an average rate according to the number of different airlines' orders. For example, in the first month, to ensure that all airlines can get 9% of their orders If so, everyone can complete the engine replacement within one year.

For this proposal, the small airlines are in a hurry, especially the head of Xiangpeng airlines in Yunnan Province, who blushes and shouts: "our small company has a hard life. There are fewer planes, fewer routes, and flight take-off and landing times are all on the edge of embarrassment, so it's difficult to survive. If we follow this ratio, there are 18 planes in total, only one per month We can get less than three engines and complete the replacement of three airplanes in two months. Compared with big airlines, this speed is unfair! "

"Yes!" The head of Tianjin airlines also agreed: "China Southern Airlines is one of the best in Asia. There's no need to compete with our small companies at this time! You should take a long-term view. Your international routes are developing so fast. It's better to work hard on the short and medium-term international routes! "

The person in charge of China Southern Airlines said: "we need a lot of money to replace so many airplanes. Almost all the engines in the past have to be replaced. Not only is the cost high, but also the waste of resources is very serious. Even the spare parts can't be used. Do you think the plate is big enough to eat more? No matter how big the plate is, there are only a few things in it. It's not much more than your small company. In the end, you use much more time to wash the plate! That detergent and water also consume more than you! So big plates take up more space than your small ones! "

The words of the person in charge of China Southern Airlines made everyone laugh and cry. Airlines and airlines can't wait to finish the replacement as soon as possible. However, it's a very long process after all that the engine can't build thousands of units at once and the whole line can be replaced.

The whole conference room was full of noise. At one time, everyone was expressing their opinions and arguing.

The middle organizer of CAAC is embarrassed. Whoever gets the Dongchen engine first means that he has gained a huge cost advantage in the civil aviation transportation. This is not that one side has improved, but the other side has stagnated, but once one side has improved, the other side will inevitably decline.

Zhang Yunfeng listened to people's arguments, his head was very big, he thought for a moment, and knocked on the table with his fingers. When everyone was quiet, Zhang Yunfeng asked, "what's the most stressful route you have now?"

People in charge of the airline look at me and I look at you. At last, the head of China Eastern Airlines said, "I think the routes we are under the most pressure at present are those opened by high-speed rail. Among them, the pressure from Yanjing to China Sea should be the biggest."

Other airlines have also said that Yanjing to China Sea is the hottest route in the country, with the largest passenger flow, the most flights, the most competition and the most pressure. Because after the high-speed railway from Yanjing to China Sea is opened, the distance between the two cities from the city center to the city center can be completed in only five hours, and the price of the second-class seat is only five More than 100 yuan, and the price of economy class of the aircraft in prime time is basically maintained at the same price, but this is the seat price, not the final price, and the final consumer has to bear 180 yuan more oil tax and airport construction tax.

The biggest problem in the field of aviation in terms of convenience is that the airport is mostly located in a remote place, with a long waiting time and a low punctuality rate. Take Yanjing for example, it takes 30 minutes to take the airport line from the city to the airport, and an additional transportation fee of nearly 30 yuan is needed. The average time of airport bus is more than one hour.

However, the high-speed railway stations in these two cities are located in the urban area, which is convenient for passengers, simple in formalities and accurate in punctuality. Therefore, civil aviation receives the most pressure on this line.

Other people have no objection to this. Yanjing to China Sea is indeed a big problem, a problem that seems to be difficult to break through. It is said that the speed of high-speed railway will soon increase to the design speed of 350 kilometers per hour. At that time, the whole journey time will be reduced to about four hours. At that time, civil aviation will be more painful on this route.

Zhang Yunfeng saw that there was no dispute about the fact that Yanjing to Shanghai had the most pressure on the route, so he said: "then, we will start from this route first, according to the number of flights you have on this route, taking sorties as the unit, all airlines will change at the same speed, and the productivity of Dongchen can ensure that four planes can be replaced every day Air companies are sorted in alphabetical order. Each airline will change one aircraft at a time and make a cyclic change. First, each of you can reduce a certain amount of pressure on this route. We will start the second route after all the aircraft on this route have completed the replacement meeting. "

Zhang Yunfeng's way, let everyone in front of the eyes, if so, for all airlines, they want to be a lot more fair, because they are different in terms of scale and strength, the resources allocated to each route are different, so that they can focus on solving the pressure problem of a route first.

As for the manufacture of dc11, we have about 80 engines coming off the production line successfully. Now we are in the ground test phase. Three days later, we will rent a maintenance hangar at Hongqiao Airport in Zhonghai to complete the engine replacement at Hongqiao. "

Later, the head of China Southern Airlines said, "I think, in addition to the route from Yanjing to Zhonghai, the route from Yanjing to Yangcheng is also facing great pressure. The high-speed rail from Yanjing to Yangcheng has a high occupancy rate, and the impact on the route along the route is also very big. Therefore, after the route from Yanjing to Zhonghai is changed, the next step should be Yanjing to Yangcheng."

The person in charge of China Eastern Airlines nodded and said: "now, the routes with the least pressure are tourist hotlines and routes to southwest and northwest cities. On these routes, the competitiveness of airlines is still very strong. We don't need to worry about them for the time being. The most important thing is to gradually change the routes between these big cities on the third step. In that case, we will face each other For each high-speed rail line, there will be enough competitiveness to compete with them for tourists. "

"What about overseas routes?" The head of Air China said: "don't neglect the importance of overseas routes, especially the routes between Asian countries. Dong'ou, han'guo and Thailand are all the business and tourism routes with the largest passenger flow. Foreign airlines have been competing with us fiercely for tourists. If we can change the planes of these routes, our external competitiveness will be extremely strong A big promotion. "

Xiangpeng aviation director said angrily, "can we talk about these things later? We don't have an international airline so far. If you want to change the aircraft of the international airline, how can you wait until all our small enterprises have finished the change? "

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and stood up and said: "the first stage is about the route from Yanjing to Zhonghai. We will not talk about other things for the time being. After the end of the route change, we will meet and discuss. Today, we will come here first. After you go back, we will arrange the sequencing of the planes to be changed as soon as possible. Three days later, we will meet in Hongqiao "

Dongchen hanggong now has three engines per day. During the test flight these days, it has accumulated more than 80 engines, which is enough to replace three planes for each of these airlines. COMAC is in China Sea, and most of the major airlines fly from Yanjing to China Sea, which take off and land at zhonghaihongqiao Airport. Therefore, in Hongqiao, it is necessary to replace engines for these airlines Most convenient.

Just after the meeting of civil aviation industry in China, Dongchen announced to the whole world that dc11 will be supplied to the airlines in mainland China from now on, and will start to change the aircraft of domestic airlines in the shortest time. When general motors, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce learned that Dongchen would soon enter the market, they all issued a warning to major domestic airlines, If the enterprise changes the engine without authorization, then all the resulting
