"You don't have to worry. I think this is good. It will give our workers enough time to familiarize themselves with the assembly process of the Boeing 717 passenger aircraft. ○" Fang Mingyuan said nonchalantly, "Besides, many domestic factories also need

Time will come to further localize its parts and components, thereby reducing production costs. I believe that the Boeing 717 passenger aircraft still has good prospects in the future, and many airlines are just waiting and watching."

Guo Qingshan nodded. The Boeing 717 passenger aircraft is a 100-seat short-range regional aircraft. It has relatively low requirements for the facilities of the take-off and landing airports. The aircraft has a simple structure, low weight, and is easy to maintain. It can also have its own passenger elevator and cargo handling system.

It does not require ground airport support equipment, and does not require lifts and ladders when refueling the aircraft. This allows it to complete the return trip preparations in less than half an hour at the fastest, and can adapt to short distances whether it is carrying people or cargo.

High-frequency routes! Moreover, the interior seat space of the passenger aircraft is larger than that of other regional aircraft, and the cabin is relatively quiet, which makes it more comfortable than similar aircraft. It can be said that the Boeing 717 is more suitable for many low-level civil airports in China.

so that they can take off and land modern and advanced passenger aircraft without having to undergo large-scale modifications. These were all things Fang Mingyuan had discussed with him when he decided to introduce the production of Boeing 717 passenger aircraft.

"In the civil aviation industry now... I don't have much say. Those guys are all too high-minded and look down on domestically produced aircraft. But they use flight safety as an excuse, so it's difficult to force them to accept domestically produced passenger aircraft." Guo Qingshan

He shook his head repeatedly and said, "I think you should focus on private airlines as your breakthrough for the time being. Alas... private airlines also have many problems nowadays."

In 2005, private capital was allowed to enter the civil aviation industry to prepare for the establishment of airlines. At that time, a lot of capital poured into this industry, and nearly twenty private airlines were established one after another. Once private aviation started

When flying, a series of incredible and heart-pounding ultra-low air tickets appeared, which made the Chinese people very excited. But today, these investors in private airlines have discovered that this industry is not as good as they originally imagined.

.A series of problems that had not been thought of before were all exposed. For example, the old airlines collectively blocked all major ticket agents and were required not to sell tickets for private airlines.

For another example, the number of domestic passenger aircraft pilots is limited. After these private airlines introduced passenger aircraft, they did not have enough pilots, and they had no other channels, so they could only poach people from state-owned airlines. This of course caused the problem of state-owned airlines

The result of the company's dissatisfaction was that the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued a document stipulating that "airline pilots must obtain the consent of their original employer before changing jobs. The original employer must also be compensated." This amount of compensation can range from hundreds of thousands to more than 100,000 yuan.

Two million! In order to poach pilots, private airlines can only attract them by increasing their salaries. This undoubtedly increases the operating costs of private airlines and also causes strong dissatisfaction with state-owned airlines. The number of domestic pilots

Insufficient, it also forces domestic airlines to recruit foreign pilots to perform flight missions, and pay them much higher wages than domestic pilots. This has created a new problem of unequal pay for equal work.

"Now it seems that Mr. Fang has the vision and invested in training pilots early." Guo Qingshan said. As early as 2003, Fang Mingyuan acquired the famous aviation pilot training company in Western Australia through Kowloon Airlines.

The organization holds 75% of the equity of Perth General Flight Services, and in the next two years, Perth General Flight Services not only strengthened itself, but also acquired other aviation pilot training institutions in Australia. Now it has

It has more than 120 aircraft of various types and 10 flight simulation equipment, and nearly 300 foreign instructors. More than 800 students graduate every year, and currently more than half of them are from Kowloon Airlines and Qinxi Airlines

Students sent for training.

"That's because water from far away can't quench our thirst for nearness." Fang Mingyuan said with a wry smile. Even if these students successfully obtained their airline transport pilot licenses and were recognized by the Civil Aviation Administration of China to enter the airline industry, it would take five to five years to successfully grow into a captain.

Seven years have passed, so Qinxi Airlines is still facing the dilemma of a shortage of captains. However, Qinxi Airlines has state-owned shares and is responsible for digesting the md90 passenger aircraft. The relevant departments are inferior to those private companies in terms of pilot supply.

Airlines are much more lenient, but even so, Qinxi Airlines still has a lot of foreign captains. As for Kowloon Airlines, not to mention, foreign captains account for more than half.

"Then your life is getting better year by year. Unlike other private airlines, which have many problems!" Guo Qingshan laughed, "If the bosses of other private airlines heard what you said, they would definitely criticize you secretly.

It means standing and talking without back pain. I heard that even some state-owned airlines are now contacting Perth General Flight Services and asking to help them train students?"

"Well, this is indeed the case." Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "Western Australia is sparsely populated and full of wastelands that can't be seen at a glance. Australia's airspace restrictions are not very strict, and there are no restrictions on aircraft taking off.

Compared to China, it's a huge difference! There, planes can take off almost as long as the weather permits, and there is a large area of ​​​​airspace to fly at will, which means I don't have time. Otherwise, I would like to learn to get a pilot's license.

Uncle Guo, I actually think that the biggest problem in the civil aviation industry today is that private airlines cannot receive the same treatment as state-owned airlines in many aspects. Of course, the entry threshold for private airlines is also somewhat low."

"The registered capital of 80 million yuan is indeed a bit low!" Guo Qingshan agreed, "As for the same treatment, hehe..." It is difficult for private airlines to get loans from banks. This is a reality, but from a bank's perspective

, the loan amounts of private airlines are often huge, they often cannot provide sufficient collateral, and their income is not very stable. The risk of loans is undoubtedly much greater than that of state-owned airlines. However, this kind of thing does not only happen to private airlines.

For domestic private enterprises, except for a few that are bigger and stronger, this phenomenon is universal.

"Speaking of this, do you know about Okai Airlines?" Guo Qingshan asked.

"Well, I know, what happened to it?" Fang Mingyuan asked. Apart from Qinxi Airlines, Okai Airlines is one of the first domestic airlines approved to be established by private capital holdings, and the second private airline in the mainland.

Its headquarters is in Beijing, and its main base is Shimen International Airport in Shimen City, Yanxing Province. The company's registered capital is 400 million yuan. On May 1, 2005, its first Boeing 737 passenger aircraft was officially put into operation from Shimen

There are commercial flights from Jiangning City to Jiangning. Currently, there are seven Boeing 737 passenger aircraft. It is considered to be a relatively good operating location among domestic private airlines.

"It seems that its major shareholder has problems with its main business and is currently looking for someone to take over his shares. Is Qinxi Airlines interested?" Guo Qingshan said.

"I haven't heard of this news. I'll ask Ma Xiaoyi later to get their opinions." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Approximately how many shares of Okai Airlines does he have?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be more than 40%." Guo Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "However, if the major shareholder withdraws, will other shareholders still firmly hold shares?

That’s easy to say.”

"That's actually better." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. If he really plans to acquire Okai Airlines, Fang Mingyuan certainly hopes that Qinxi Airlines will at least obtain a controlling stake in Okai Airlines, so that it can reduce

Constraints from other shareholders.

"I don't know how many of these private airlines that were originally established will still be left in ten years' time," Guo Qingshan said with emotion. Although the air transport industry looks glamorous, it is an industry with high investment and low returns.

The profits of the entire global aviation industry last year were only US$7 to 8 billion. And as the price of oil continues to rise in the international market, it is still unclear whether profits can reach this level this year.

"If the country can treat everyone equally, I think state-owned airlines may die faster than them." Fang Mingyuan said. State-owned airlines that have lost tens of billions of yuan and are on the verge of bankruptcy can actually acquire other domestic airlines. In addition to some

Apart from the state-owned airlines that the state continuously injects capital into, who can have such courage? Thinking again about the original Haiyou Iron and Steel Group Company's attempt to forcibly acquire Guangyao Iron and Steel Group Company. Fang Mingyuan has long given up any hope for China's state-owned enterprises.

.

"You!" Guo Qingshan was speechless. He wanted to hear a few words of praise for state-owned enterprises from Fang Mingyuan, but it was too difficult. On the other hand, he wanted to hear as many complaints as he wanted, and I don't know how he could.

They are so disdainful of state-owned enterprises that even the companies under the Fang family easily refuse to accept equity participation from state-owned capital!

"Qinxi Airlines will definitely stay anyway. Uncle Guo, don't forget that it is the first domestic airline controlled by private capital." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Yes, I have not forgotten that Qinxi Airlines is the first airline controlled by private capital, but in essence, who would confuse it with other private airlines?" Guo Qingshan said, "Master Fang, you

Calculate for yourself, which private airline can be as dominant as Qinxi Airlines?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piotian.net
